How to refresh edited patterns in component library
Posted: 31 Aug 2013, 12:46
New user here. I've searched the forums, tutorial PDF, and Help file and haven't found an answer (so, if you are better at picking key words and found my answer somewhere, please let me know that, too ...)
I've spent several hours importing a custom library from Eagle and editing it to give it some consistency with the DipTrace libraries. I just finished with the patterns and went to the schematic capture, but the old patterns were still associated with the components. I went to the component library and found the same thing.
I exited completely out of DipTrace and tried again, but the old patterns kept coming up. I can't see anyway to refresh the association between the components in my custom library and the new edited patterns in the associated custom pattern library other than go into the component editor and then select each of the components one by one, and manually update the attached pattern. How do I force DipTrace to update these edited libraries?
I suppose this translates to other editors. I change a pattern, or component, how do I force a library update in the schematic or PCB editor?
