Footprint not found (PADS import)
« on: June 17, 2020, 03:16:19 pm »
When importing PADS project files, PCB and libs into Altium I am left with a nice looking schematic and a nice looking PCB, but since PADS uses PKG_TYPE for the footprint, there is no footprint listed in the properties of each schematic symbol.  Instead, the footprint name that I want to use is listed as a PKG_TYPE parameter in the schematic symbol. 

How can I fix this?

Ok, I think I figured it out.  I missed an option when importing the project, there was a CELL VALUE text box that allows mapping of the footprints.  Hopefully that has fixed it.
