Hey Orson, I'm guessing you used the current PART_LIBS object instead of SYMBOL_LIB_TABLE to access the symbol libraries. This method will soon be obsolete. Will you have the time to help me with the transition? I am willing to do it but I'm not familiar with the new symbol library editor code (yet). My goal is to get the new symbol library table code in place for populating schematics and then start working on the editor, viewer, chooser, and any other remaining code the uses PART_LIBS to access symbol libraries. I'll see if I can find the time this weekend to try out the new editor.
