Just to add another way.

If, by accident, you have deleted just the ref des.

Add text to the Ref Des, Assembly top layer, 
pick the part you would like to associate the text with,
and a location for the text.

Type in the old ref des number.

This text will now be and act like the old ref des. 
The text layer can be changed to silkscreen top or any other ref des layer.
And can be added multiple times, say  if one feels the need to have a 
big ref des under the part and a little ref des outside the part 
for when the board is populated.

This only works on the Ref Des, Assembly top layer.
One of those hidden features.


Hope this helps.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] How to update the particular component's symbol


Hello,everyone
When I add text on RefDes class, the text can be attached to the component
only in the Assembly_top or Assembly_bottom subclass.
If select the silkscreen or display subclass, the text is just a note and
can not add again.
The problem is that I deleted two component's refdes by mistake, but I would
not like to update all the component with that package symbol. I can not
find the way to update only the particular component. 
Who can tell me how to update the particular component's symbol or how to
make the text added to the RefDes class and Silkscreen subclass attached to
the component?
Thanks in advance!
