Distributor Part Update
lanuser , 09-21-2015, 11:36 AM
I have question regarding altium.
Let say I have 20 schematic sheets and each sheet has exact same 5 component.
Now time pass and this component no loner available from the supplier.
Now I have added new component that has exact same value but has different part number and different manufacturer.
Question is:
How can I change outdated component in 20 schematic sheets with new component without going to each sheet and changing each component manually.

Hi @lanuser, did you try:
- Schematic: Update from Libraries -> Fully replace symbols and sheet with those from library ("check" all) -> Next.
- "Check" all the symbols you would like to replace.
- Select a component (s) -> Click on "Choose Component" button. Find it in the library and select the new component.
- Check "Library Name" and "Logical Symbol", if they are correct
- Finish ...
Please, let me know if this is what you were looking for. I hope it will help

Note: You may need to install the library first. Go to your Schematic: Design -> Add/Remove Library
