Thanks a lot.Thumbs Up
Just confirm what I found later on.
And as expected, padstack had to be imported first.
Be sure I will keep this doc at hand.LOL

In PADS Pro Library Manager I can import EDX files, however PCBL Footprint Expert export ASCII file or encrypted ASCII file with .asc or .hkp extension, which seem to work with Xpedition.

How do I import these file in PADS Pro Library Manager and have my cell?

Also, I guess it's better to import the pad stack first then the cell?  Wink
