Update Parametric Cell

Used to update the local definition of a placed parametric cell if the original variables and variations have been dropped or redefined in the source file. The dialog allows you to remap the values of the local outdated variations and variables to that of the changed variations and variables in the source file.

Accessed from:

In the Cell Library dialog enable Show Shared and Parametric Cell Definitions, then right-click on a local definition of a parametric cell, click Update Cell Definition > Update Parametric Cell
