Edited Footprint Name Does Not Appear In FPX Lib

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   After entering dimensions into Footprint Expert, and click "Calculate", and then Build Footprint... I'm able to edit the footprint name before clicking Create (so that my Altium footprint and Step file both have my edited footprint name).
But if I then click "Send to Library"... the new row in my FPX file has the original name for the footprint and Step file.  I'd have to manually edit both of them. Could the edited name be sent to the FPX file instead? If I do the edit of footprint name, and then from the Footprint pane, I click "Add Footprint to Library"

Regards,
Chris
