[PCB_FORUM] Re: Globally change to alt symbol across board

Hi Mark,

How about extract a place_txt.txt file

globally change the footprint name in that file

delete all relays, and use a "plctxt -r" command to read the file back
into the board.

The caveat is that the two relay origins are in the same spot, but you
would encounter that with a 1 by 1 replace as well.

Chris

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Globally change to alt symbol across board

Can I change all of my 500 relays to an alternate symbol across the 
whole board?
The only way I can find to do it is thru delete / manual place or Move /

select alt sym the place back down.
Very very time consuming concidering this can not be done in "stretch
mode".
All my parts are on a 1 mil grid.

HELP!

Thanks,
Mark
