Hey Guys, Sorry I haven't responded to your questions. None of the footprints I mentioned (1206, 0805, 0603) had any of these characters in them. Though I don't use spaces in names, we do have some footprints in the library that use "-" and "_". I can't see the link back to the original footprints. Maybe I'll go check if there happens to be an accidental space after the footprint name...

Maybe you are correct Dennis. I cannot recall the precise circumstances but I am sure that this problem I had years ago was simply related to naming of the footprints. As I said, I changed my conventions and it hasn't appeared since and I have forgotten the precise details. I know that I don't use "-", "_" or spaces in my footprint names and it hasn't occurred since. I know that the problem was that it appeared to have made the changes but in actual fact it hadn't, while all checks (netlist load, etc.) showed it was fine and the changes were made.
