Update Symbol
Once a symbol has been used in a
project its definition is stored within the project. This means that the
symbols stored with a project may not match the similarly-named symbols in your
master catalogs. This could happen if a symbol is modified on the system after
creating a project or if a project was imported from another user who has a
different symbol. The followingn dialog displays letting you update the symbol.
This function lets the user compare symbols in a selected project with any similarly-named symbols in the symbol catalogs. It also lets the user replace symbols in the project with the symbols that exist in the catalog.
