Symbol Edit update

[jbradtke9112]

So I edited a schematic symbol (HT0001) by just moving the attributes to where I wanted them.  I saved the block and saved the symbol and returned to my schematic which already has that symbol used in multiple places.  How do I get the symbol to update without haveing to insert 50 new symbols with the updated information?  I tried update blocks but it converts the symbols into a "dumb" ACAD block instead of a "smart" ACADE symbol.  See screenshot below. 

Thanks

The Update Block utility under Swap/Update should update all instances of HT0001 on your drawings.  I just made lots of use of that utility after a customer decided that they didn't like the location of the TAGSTRIP attribute, after I had already finished the drawings.  Be sure not to select the option to retain old attribute locations or you will not see the attributes move to your newly desired location.  Hint: The location of the attributes in the stock blocks was chosen so the attributes are not in the way when you connect a wire from all 4 directions.
