Also, note that the Copy Attributes field can do partial replacement; if you
just want to replace the whole designator field, just put the new value in
WITHOUT braces. If you use the braces, what goes inside is a replacement
expression, like {AB=C} where any occurence of 'AB' in the field will get
replaced by 'C', leaving the rest of the field intact.
And, yes, changing the default designator in the schlib will not affect
already-placed parts, since you may have edited them already.
