When I am creating parts in the Footprint Expert, I create one and save it into the FPX library file format as a nominal padstack cell. I save the library and then I want to generate that save cell as a least padstack generated cell and save that into the library. But it keeps changing all the cells in the library to whatever setting I have it on. If I am on Nominal, then all the cells generate to Nominal. If I am on Least then all my cells are at least. Can you explain this behavior?


Saving to FPX only saves:

1. Calculator Parts:
 - Package Dimensions
- 3D Colors
- Manually inserted drafting outlines
- Mfr. Recommended Pattern

2. FP Designer Parts:
- Mfr. Recommended Pattern
- 3D Colors
- Manually inserted drafting outlines
- Pad Stacks
- Origin Location

All other footprint features are defined in the Master Option .opt file.

Note: Local and Master Option Settings are not saved to FPX.
