Copy attribute

[chris.downing]

Similar to the "Copy Installation/Location Values" tool except you can choose from any of the attributes you wish to copy/paste. For example if you want to copy or change the rating to 10 symbols or the pin number or even the description 1 value, you could simply change one symbol and then copy/paste to the rest. 

I think this would really speed up the drafting process when you wish to make quick modifications to existing schematics.

Just select all components, press CTRL+1 to open the properties palette, and change it there:

Good workaround, thanks!  you can also use the 'Find' tool and select block Attributes if they all the same. I would like a copy and paste though like the Copy Installation/Location Values tool. Maybe use the same tool but give the option to pick attributes.

Yeah.

I thought about making it, but it would, as I see it, result in much more clicking.

First edit the source component, then select what to copy, then select where to paste to.

Selecting and editing directly is so much quicker, and done in  just a few clicks.

I actually made a small program to edit multiple attributes, before I remembered the properties palette trick. Here's a video:

Send me a PM. I can't find the source code, but I can send you the compiled DLL som that you can load and use it 🙂
