Renaming PCB Symbols in the Library


brianmk

If I rename a PCB symbol in the Library, then any components that use the old symbol name end up broken - i.e. the components still refer to the old symbol name in the Package details.

Is there a way to automatically update symbol names in existing component packages when symbols are renamed?

Doing this manually is time consuming and it's difficult to locate all the components in the libraries that reference the changed symbols.
