thanks to nick and everybody else. i did indeed change operating systems. i went from NT4 to W2K. but also i wasn't coming close to performing all the operations that nick mentions. like i said, i was just changing the part and then plunking my thumb down on the "update schematic" button.
thanks again! miker -----Original Message----- From: Nick Piccinich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 3:52 PM To: 'Protel EDA Forum' Subject: Re: [PEDA] update schematic ?? Hi Mike, design-make project library Save the library with the changes. open the schematics where you want to update the part. in schematic: click Design:Update Parts in Cache Go back to the library, click on the component that you want to update so that it is highlighted. Then click update schematic. (each component has to be updated by selecting it? - at least on my version 99SE SP6 - WIN2K) Afterwards, design-make project library to make sure the schematic links to the new project library. I found this problem with links inside a ddb file either occured after switching operating system (98SE to WIN2K) or renaming the database file? hope this helps, Nick P.S. Did you look at Knowledge Base Item 2225? That's where I got directed by Protel support. -----Original Message----- From: Robison Michael R CNIN [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 3:04 PM To: 'Protel EDA Forum' Subject: [PEDA] update schematic ?? hello, i am still having trouble updating schematics when i change a component in the library. i looked thru the archives but nothing really clicked so i would like to ask about it here. i added a couple pins to a multipart component in the component library, and then clicked the "update schematics" button, went back to my schematic, and one component's part did not update. however, several other identical components did update. just to make sure i was on level ground, i did a design/make project library so that i knew exactly where the components came from, and then updated the schematic again, with the same results. why won't the one part of the one component update? thank you, miker * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
