The board itself is should be correct since when looking at the metal fraction layer during import, it shows the correct layer details. The following dialogue after the Metal Fraction shows an empty set of Parameters. In an earlier dialogue when doing &#8220;setup link&#8221;, the part settings is empty. I think this is the issue for the missing parts on the PCB but I&#8217;m unsure how to fix this.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/22-06-2026-1782165659-mceclip1.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-460215","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27793"],"_bbp_topic_id":["460215"],"_bbp_subscription":["302801"],"_bbp_author_ip":["172.59.130.118"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["460216"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["460216"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2026-06-22 22:12:37"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["1"],"_bbp_engagement":["302801"],"_btv_view_count":["50"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"]},"test":"chen4678purdue-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/460215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/460215\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
