Hey Mark,
Oooooooops!!
I'm sorry, but I thought I learned over the years not to assume!
We don't have any symbols in our library set up with alternates, so I
was not able to test it out completely, and *assumed* that if the
symbols
were set up with an alternate symbol, that you could change all of them
at once. Guess I should have stayed out of this one!

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Globally change to alt symbol across board
Hello again Gary,
Is this another 15.1 issue?
I could not get this to work.
Steps 1-3 work fine.
But step 4 does not.
I could not get RMB "alt sym" selection when moving symbol by
"symtype".
I tried with move by pin 1, user pick, origin and with / without
"stretch"
Also, I have never been able to select "alt sym" when using temp group.
What am I missing?
Thanks again for your input!
Mark
