OK, So everything seems to be ok except that when I look at a parts attributes after an import nothing seems to change.
This is what I'm doing. Export 1. In Schematic Editor. File>>Export>>Export Schematic to Database. 2. I choose "Part" as my selected primitive. 3. I choose X and Y Loc, Lib Ref, Footprint, Designator, Part Type as my Selected Attributes. 4. Tick Include Sheet Name. 5. Click Ok. Now I Open the Part.DBF and change only the Lib Ref on one component (R1 in this case) I save the Part.DBF and I says do you want to overwrite it? I click yes. Then it says "PART.DBF may contain features that are not compatible with DBF 4 (dBASE IV). Do you want to keep the workbook in this format?" (I'm thinking this may be a clue) I click yes. Then back in Protel I go. 1. File>>Import>>Import Schematic from Database. 2. Click Part in attributes, browse to the correct database file name. 3. Import Options: Scope - Current Project, Action - Update Only 4. Mapped Attributes XYLOCATION, LIBREF, DESIGNATOR, and SHEET_PATH. 5. Set Key Fields XYLOCATION, DESIGNATOR, and SHEET_PATH. (This should mean that only the Lib Ref feild is updated, right?) 6. Click ok. 7. Wait while Protel chews away.... 8. When all is finished, go to R1 on schematic, double click on it and Lib Ref has not changed! AAAARRGGGGHHHHHH! :) Somebody please tell me something I'm missing....
