Note: There is an option from a schematic library Tools ► Update Schematics, but this does a full replacement of the selected part to all open schematic documents. Schematic components can be updated directly from configured libraries as follows.įrom an open schematic document, select Tools ► Update from Libraries. NOTE: If you are using components from a Managed content server, these are locked and the footprint is not able to be changed directly. It is always a best practice to make changes in your schematic libraries and then update your schematics. There are a few ways to update the schematic components. For designs where the footprints in the PCB do not match the footprint configured in the schematic component, this will show you how to get them in sync.
