Sunstone Printed Circuit Board Forum

I am sorry but I don't know when this feature will be added to PCB123. I will review the issue with our product management and sofrtware development team.

I have designed a board (schematic and layout) and need to make some changes to it. Mainly the microcontroller symbol. When I first built the symbol I only added the pins that I knew at the time that I would need. That has since change and I now need to edit the symbol and add a few more pins. I have gone into the symbol editor and added the pins and saved/replaced the old symbol which all seemed to work fine. I then went to managing parts to make sure that the newly edited symbol was the one associated with the old part, which it was. The problem is that the actual symbol on the schematic does not get updated. Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you for your quick reply. Do you have a better idea about when you might have this feature available? The problem with deleting the current part and adding a new part is that all the routing that I did to the original part will be lost and I'd have to re-route 50 or so connections. I really don't want to have to do this. I guess as a work around I could manually add the connection on the board layout. This would then create a sync page on the schematic? While this connection wouldn't be easily seen on the schematic, the connection would be there. In the case of building new symbols, namely large pin count microcontrollers, what would you suggest?On one hand, I don't want a cluttered schematic that's hard to read, buton the otherhand I don't want to have this issue come up that is not easy to fix. Any suggestions would be great as I am pretty new at this stuff.
