Applied Parameters: None

Summary

This command is used to update the schematic sheet(s) that are associated with a specific template that may have had its information changed in some way, for example 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. 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 the Design » 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 (irrespective of project to which 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) are associated to is not available (perhaps because it has been deleted), using this command will have no effect.
