Igor,
I guess that you have seen Bob's detailed explanation of his issue.
Not what I expected nor what it seems you would have expected either.
As for your comments below I can understand your view, it doesn't
match with mine because my question would be: "If you updated the symbol
from the library, what change would you expect?" You would state, " Nothing
to the existing design, possible options in the footprint list." I would ask
"Why did you need to do the update at this time if you didn't want to see
any change?"
Thus if I update from the library, I want a new virgin symbol or
part. I don't want some kludge of the old and the new that can get too
messy. Then again, I don't drive my symbol details manually, I'm linked.
Have a good one Igor.
Sincerely,
Brad Velander.
