Replace Part Numbers can be used to users to quickly replace Part Numbers on multiple symbols.
The user needs to take into note that Replace Part Number does not change the associated symbols to the Part Number for the modes. For example, if Part_record_1 has Symbol_A as the schematic symbol and Part_record_2 has Symbol_B as the schematic symbol. If there is Symbol_A placed on the schematic page with Part Number Part_record_1 and if the user uses Replace Part Number to replace it with Part Number Part_record_2 then the schematic symbol will still remain Symbol_A with part number Part_record_2.Also, the user must be careful when using Replace Part Number if there are 3D Layout Symbols associated with the Part Record as the user might be replacing Part Number for the symbol in the schematic and that can be fine in many cases as multiple Part Records might have same Schematic / Single line symbols but there is a high chance that the Physical representation of symbol might changes which impact the 3D layout symbol/mode.
1. Open a page in the project where the Part Number needs to be Replaced for the symbols. 2. click on Ribbon Replace >> Replace Part Number.3.
