Hi All,
I am in 15.2 and am trying to update and refresh padstacks in some symbols
we received from a customer but have run into a snag. I cannot replace or
refresh all padstacks in a symbol at once, even if they are all the same, if
there is a derived from note( I say note as it does not appear in the
properties but does on the display element for the pin)on them. Example: I
have a connector with 40 pins all the same padstack except that all pins
except 1 and 40 say derived from. If I do a refresh, replace or update to
design only the non-derived pads appear to update. I have also tried doing
an edit both with and without the "include derived padstacks box" clicked.
Nothing seems to work. What am I doing wrong? 
Thanks,
Dharma
