Applied Parameters: None
Summary
This command is used to update the schematic sheet(s) associated with a specific template that may have had its information changed in some way (e.g., a company logo may have changed). A template is a graphical entity that holds user-defined sheet
size, border, and title block descriptions.
This command relates to the use of file-based templates and not vault-based templates. To update the latter (essentially to use the latest released revision of an assigned Schematic Template Item) you would need to click the
Update From Latest Revision button on the
Template tab of the
Document Options dialog. This button is available when using a vault template (i.e., when the
Use Vault Template option on that tab is enabled and
an existing Schematic Template Item is already assigned to the document).
Access
This command is accessed from the Schematic Editor by choosing Design » Templates » Update Current Template from the main menus.
Use
After launching the command, the Update Template dialog will appear. Use this dialog to determine for which documents the template will be updated - either the current document only, all schematic documents in the current
(active) project, or all open schematic documents (regardless to which project they belong). You also have control over what happens to parametric information.
After clicking OK, the schematic sheets falling under the defined scope will be updated with the changes from the associated template.
Tips
- If the template file that the schematic sheet(s) is associated to is not available (perhaps because it has been deleted), using this command will have no effect.
