Updating Symbols

If you have updated a symbol in a symbol library, you can update the symbol where it is used on the diagrams, to update the graphic and the fixed properties of the symbol.

If a symbol on a diagram is controlled by a library part, you must update the library part on that object instance on the diagram to update the symbol.

Procedure

1. Right-click the symbol instance in the Diagram window or in the Harness Design Browser.Note If you want to update multiple symbol instances, press Shift and click the symbol instances to select them. Once you have selected the symbol instances, right-click one. If a symbol has been used more than once in a diagram, you must select every instance that you want to update. If you select only one instance of the symbol, only that instance is updated.

2. A popup menu is displayed. Select Update Symbol from the popup menu. Alternatively, you can click the symbol, press Space Bar, and enter Update.The Update Symbol - Options Dialog Box is displayed.

3. Select the options as required and click OK; the symbol instances are updated to the latest version.
