Not able to access Ultiboard footprints from Multisim part wizard

[Todc.18]

I re-installed the Circuit design Suite on a new PC (I had v10.1.372 active on the old PC), I have 10.1 on the new PC. I made an EWPRJ file with all the parts made previously. I added each part, through selection, to the Ultiboard database. When trying to link the new Multisim parts to footprints in the Ultiboard database, the footprints don't appear for selection. Is there a work around?

Thank you, Tod

Hi Tod,

I have a workaround for you. During component creation, choose a comparable footprint from the master database. When you transfer the design to Ultiboard, you can select the shape and go to Tools -> Change Shape. This will allow you to select the correct shape.

Hope this helps.
