Hi.

I could use some input: I'm (once again) banging against an impermeable wall of "Format %x invalid...." and as a result I can no longer synchronise Sch and Pcb (all I get is an exception error with that weird description).....
As usual the time pressure is huge, it should be ready at the end of the day.

Bearing in mind that footprint names should not be longer than 14 characters with no spaces or funny characters (although this problem has not bothered me until half a year ago) I want to clean up the footprint names. I'll even go so far as to make my libraries a 'proper' Ddb (still using the file system approach) to eliminate all problems related with that... But..... I have a large number of designs that USE those footprints with their not-so-good-for-too-long names.

Changing the names in library is easy enough (my libraries are not that big) and even converting them to MSAccess format is not too difficuilt, but how do I prevent the existing designs from losing integrity when the used footprint names no longer exist?
