Activity 2: Replace components

In this activity you will see how components in a schematic can be replaced by others quickly and accurately in a batch operation.

1. Go to sheet 3, and in Design Manager, Browser tab, set the View to Components.

2. In the Components Search field enter R2 and then in the components list Shift-select the four resistors Components R208 to R211. They highlight in the drawing.

3. In the Inspector, Selected Objects field, adjust the Inspector width, using the control indicated by the red arrow, and adjust the table column widths to note the component names (RC-MASTER-SMD_R) and Library Name (Linked Library52101) for the resistors.

   

   You can also see this data clearly if you select a single resistor and review the Properties of Component fields.

4. Select the four resistors and under Quick Actions, click Replace.

   

5. In the Library window, expand LinkedLibrary52101 and select RESISTOR-POWER_RAC03, then click OK.

6. Click in the Selected Objects field, deselecting the four objects, and note that the four RC-MASTER-SMD_R components have all been replaced with RESISTOR-POWER_RAC03.
