Nebul0us Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hi all, I am fairly new to AutoCAD Electrical but I have created some symbols using the symbol builder. The problem I am having is when I want to edit those symbols I created. After making my changes I am prompted if I want to overwrite the existing files, and I select yes. However, when I try to insert the symbol, none of the changes I made show up; it is still the original symbol I created. Can anyone help me with this? I have 22 MCC's (72" x 72") to design and this is really hindering me. I have been able to save them as a separate file as a workaround but my symbol library is starting to get muddied up with so many different versions of each symbol. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Bryson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebul0us Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 That does not solve the problem. How do I get symbol builder to save my changes to a symbol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Bryson Hi Bryson, I am experiencing same issue with the overwriting the symbol in the symbol builder. I Have checked the symbol drawing, it is the latest one. But when I insert the symbol to the schematic diagram, it inserts the previous one. Have you found out how to sort this issue? I am desperate to know how.

RobDraw Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Your question might get more traction in the Electrical forum under Verticals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Did you erase all instances of the block you were trying to replace with the newly created block and purge the block definition before attempting to insert the new block? Yes or No? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
