Purging did not change anything. Still having the same issue

Be sure that there are no symbols already inserted into your drawing. If you already have an HPB11 pushbutton on your drawing and it came from the JIC library folder, you will get a copy of it, even if you attempt to insert one from the IEC60617 menu. Even if you delete it from the drawing you must purge the drawing of unused blocks before Electrical will use symbols from the new library you have assigned.

The panel menu and library is the same for all.  The footprints are physical representations and therefore look the same in any standard.  However, the footprints are in English units, not Metric.  You should go to the Panel configuration menu and set a scale factor of 25.4 if inserting the footprints into a Metric drawing environment.

First of all, BACKUP all your dwgs in the project in case of problems.

Now go to the Swap/Updat Block function.

In the Update block section, there is a way to swap all blocks to the equivelant block in a different library. Use this to update all your existing blocks at once.

Then do a full rebuild of the project before you double check that everything is correct.

In my Schematic Libraries I removed the "JIC" ones and added the "IEC-60617" and moved it to the top. My Schematic Icon Menu File reads "ACE_IEC-60617_MENU.DAT" My Panel Menu is still set to the default. Would that need to change as well?

The Panel menu stays the same because it is a physical representation of the part which does not change.

I did have some on a nonvisible layer. That is what it was. Cool! It is working now. Thanks again for your help!
