Example: I'm using the HMC3587 amplifier.
1. I created a new schematic with a S2P block to read the s-params.
2. I created a new symbol based on the schematic.
3. I created a new layout and drew the footprint + pins.
Problem:
If I create a new schematic and drop the symbol down, then try to generate a layout from the schematic, the auto-generated layout changes my footprint (see attached).
How do I stop this?
Thanks
You do not specify which version of ADS you are using.
For the latest release, ADS 2016.01, once you have created the layout you wish to use open the command "File > Customize Pcell..." in this same layout window. For the Artwork Type select "Referenced/fixed Pcell" and for the Design Name enter the name of the current cell. Then OK out and make sure that you save the design again before attempting to use it in another design.

Yes, I was able to stumble around and get to the same result. Thanks, sdgrant.
