How to modify an entire project circuit.

[Anonymous]

Hi to everyone.

I have drawn power and control diagram for 54 motors. Most of them have the same control diagram (the changes are in the tags of course). The problem arise when the engineer decided to change the control diagram of the most of them (always the same modification adding component and terminals, trimming and stretching wires, etc).

The first procedure I made was to draw one diagram and save it into the icon menu, then I inserted in new sheets (retag automatic) until I finished. That was all. It took me more time to draw the first circuit than the others 53.

So resuming. Is there a way to modify only one circuit and change the others that are the same?

I tried with the swap/update but I know I'm doing something wrong; I can't realize what it is

Thanks for your time

I have done something like this in the past using a script.  I created a script to open each drawing erase a region, and insert the circuit. The circuit is a .DWG file so you insert it like you would a block.  Set the base point for the circuit to 0,0,0 and set your script to insert at 0,0,0.

Hi

Thanks.

Then I retag.
