Changing All Record Format Fields

This command changes several or all default field values for a selected record format attached to symbol definitions. Symbols already placed on the drawing are unaffected.

To change several or all record format fields:

  1. Select Tools > Records > Change All Fields.

  2. The Change All Fields dialog box opens.

  3. From the Symbol Folder list, select None, All, or a symbol folder, if any.

  4. Select None to change the record of the symbol definition at the root of the symbol library (symbol definitions not in any folder). Select All to change the record format of all of the symbol definition in the file’s symbol library. Selecting a symbol folder changes all of the symbol definitions only in that folder and any subfolders.

  5. From the Record Format list, select the record format.

  6. Click OK.

  7. The Change Fields dialog box opens. The title bar displays the name of the record being edited.

  8. Select the field names to change and enter the new information.

  9. All of the field names of the record format are listed. If the record file has more than 16 fields, click Next to continue viewing the remaining fields in the record.

  10. After making the desired changes, click OK.

Confirm the operation and the number of symbol definitions affected.
