**Obsolete**Foundation Schematic: How to replace a symbol without deleting nets
Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard
Normally when you delete a symbol, all the wires connected to
the symbol also get deleted. Is it possible to leave the
wires in place so a new symbol can be placed and connected?
Solution 1:
To replace a symbol on the schematic without deleting the
wires:
1. Select the symbol on the schematic.
2. Click on the Disconnect Symbol icon in the horizontal
toolbar.
3. Delete the disconnected symbol.
4. Place the new symbol so that its pins touch the
existing wires.
5. Select the new symbol and click on the Connect Symbol
icon in the horizontal toolbar. The wires will be
automatically connected.
If some wires do not line up exactly with the new symbol,
connect them manually by selecting the end of the wire and
dragging it over the symbol pin.
