Renaming devices

autodeskguest

I found some mistakes in device names I had made when i printed the BOM. I

went back to the library renamed them and them opened the schematic and then

ran UPDATE. I thought that would reflect the new name in the BOM but it

didn't. Any way to do that.

 

Thanks

Geoff

    The lib's >name will be the default when you place the part into the

    design. You have to use the name tool to change them once they are on

    the board. Any new instances added will use the updated name.
