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

One addition to the selective alt_symbol:
Create a text file with a .lst extension with all the reference
designators. Maybe foo.lst.
When you want to change the group, start the "Move" command, click on
the "Find" tab, select "Symbol(or Pin)" in the Find By Name box, and
change "Name" to "List" next to the box. Now enter the text file name
(if you used the ".lst" extension you don't have to enter it.) Change
back to "Name" when done or you will have problems when you go to enter
a reference designator.
Allegro will read the list and highlight all the reference designators
in the list file. You will have to click the reference point, change to
the alt_sym, and select the destination point (or type "ix 0") as below.

1) Get in the Move command
2) In the Find tab at right, in the "Find Buy Name" field, pull-down to
"Symtype", then click the More button.
3) In the window that comes up, choose the symbol name (i.e. "0603"),
then click OK (all of the chosen symbols in your design will highlight).
4) Now, click on a reference point (all of the symbols are "picked up"),
then RMB to "Alt Symbol", then click back on the reference point to set
all of the symbols down in their original location.
