The "Used In" does not populate for electronics libraries.

[warren_hawkins57R37]

As the title says "Used In" does not work for electronics libraries. This would be a very useful feature to have and would be worth adding.

Also It would be worth having a change log in electronics libraries that would show which components, footprints, symbols etc were modified, added, removed etc.

@jorge_garcia This request will probably get more support if it is moved to the electronics forum.

Just to add more context some changes could cause issues on the PCB layout that require fixing. Knowing where a library is used would allow this sort of correction to take place.

Hello @warren_hawkins57R37,

I hope you're doing well. You can go to the library manager and select the Used in design checkbox. That will help you see what libraries have been used in the design and then you can choose to bring them into use or not.

As far as a change log, the version description is meant to contain this data but I see your point that it would be nice to have something more comprehensive.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Jorge,

That's very different functionality than I'm looking for.  I want to know what designs are using a library and more specifically what parts in the library are being used and where. I don't want to have to open many designs possibly dozens or more to find all the links. I'd also like to know what parts are not linked to anything.

Change logs are prone to omissions.

Thanks

Hi @warren_hawkins57R37,

I hope you're doing well. I have passed this along to our developers for review. Thanks for clarifying what you want it seems I had gotten it backwards.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,
