Components marked by design manager can not be replaced?

Hi everyone, 

 

i have many parts in my schematic, which should be replaced by a part of another library. The parts which should be replaced are all the same device and have the same footprint. 

In the design manager tab i marked all of the mentioned parts. they are highlighted in the schematic. But i can not replace them all at once, although i can move them all at once.

 

When they were highlighted, i tried to replace them like i had grouped them with the mouse select before, but it did not work. I also wanted to go to the inspector tab and replace them with the quick action, but the parts are not shown there, the inspector is empty.

 

Do you know a method to mark all the same parts (for example R-1206 Devices) and replace them all at once?

I often miss that the marked parts in the design manager are not shown in the inspector. Is there a way to do this?

 

Best regards

Helge

When select a bunch a components with the mouse, they are shown in the inspector. but when i mark only the parts that i need to replace in the inspector, i still can not replace them all at once.

I have no idea what i did wrong, but after watching this tutorial about the design manager and inspector, i can do what i wanted to achieve: https://www.youtube.com/live/fUQ8umdXmJY?feature=share
