Update Family
This dialog lets the user compare a selected family in a project with a family in your family database.
Family definitions can be stored with a project. This means that the family definition stored with a project may not match the definition in your device family database. This could happen if the user edited the definition on the system after creating a project or if a project was imported from another user who has a different family definition.
