Hi,

All of a sudden my whole footprint library seems to be screwed up.

I just added a new component to my company's Altium footprint library. I then added the schematic symbol to go with it and inserted it into my project. Updated the PCB and everything looked just fine. I then added a few more parts to the schematic, hit update PCB and swithced the PCB. Now the last added parts have some layers wrong.For example the Mechanical 1 outline is way off relative to the pads. Strangely the designator in Top Layer didn't move but the outline in the same layer did.
I have opened the footprint library, clicked a few components at random, and they all show the same problem!
Has anyone experienced this before? Any solutions?

I've attached a couple of screenshots that show what I mean.

Thanks, I did but it didn't help.

I think the reason was that I temporarily lost connection to the server hosting the library. Our IT admin solvled it with a backup copy.
