You should just delete and replace the component.  If you "refresh symbol"
you will trash all the text positioning work that you have already done.  If
you want to remove text from the silk of a component, change the subclass of
the text from silkscreen top or bottom to display top bottom.  In the past,
we have noticed that when you delete a silkscreen ref des, the database
would sometimes get corrupted.  You should use the board geometries for silk
and assembly text/legends that you want to add to the design.  This keeps
the design neat and predictable when it is revisited in the future.

just delete and then read it back in, you should export a placement file
before the delete then import that file after delete, unfortunately you will
lose any text positioning you may have done though.

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!
