Hi Tom,

Many time it happens that we need to draw only component body,  For mechanical parts.

In all new cloud version its not possible to add courtyard with outline only. It requires minimum 1 pad to enable save option. 

So, Can you please have a look into this .

What version are you referring to? 

Are you saying you had that feature and now you don't in the latest V2022.06 Cloud? 

Are you using Pro or Enterprise? 

Are you building FP Designer footprints for Mechanical parts?

Try: After the footprint is created, use the mouse click and drag to select all pins then Right Mouse Click and select Remove.

Note: if you select 'Hide' you'll get a Handled Exception error for now, but this will be fixed in the next 2022.07 pre-release.
