updating library causes removal of all values

AlexandrGUR2M7 — Tue, 06 Jul 2021 10:17:24 GMT

Hi!

Please help!

Facing really annoying problem, Im added new resistor package to the library, and trying to add it in to schematic, a dialog appears:

"A different version of device set R is already present in this file and needs to be updated"

Pressing "NO" does nothing, but pressing "YES" adding needed component with removal of all R values in entire schematic.

button "Update design from all libraries used in design" also removes all values for changed device.

Hi @AlexandrGUR2M7 ,

I hope you're doing well. The values are likely not gone they are just not seen . Try using Autoposition attributes set to Restore Default. Let me know if you continue to run into problems.

Best Regards,

Hi Jorge, thanks for repply, I tried Autoposition attributes, it restore designator and value location on schematic, but not restores blanked value of changed resistor. Please, look at attached video.

Hi @AlexandrGUR2M7 ,

I hope you're doing well. If you can look in your resistor device and check it's attributes. If you have an attribute called VALUE and it's empty, please delete it. That's what's causing the values to get cleared when you do the update. Check the attributes specifically of the package you are updating to.

Let me know if you continue to run into problems.

Best Regards,
