Problem Title:
Foundation Schematic F1.4 : Options->Replace Symbol replaces all instances of symbol


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
In Foundation Schematic Capture, when selecting a symbol and
choosing Replace Symbol from the Options menu, the tool
replaces all of the instances of that symbol with the new
symbol.

Is there a way to replace only the selected symbol?


Solution 1:

The Options->Replace Symbol is intended to replace all placed
instances of a symbol with a new symbol in the case where the
symbol has changed, and therefore all instances must be
updated.

Currently the only way to replace only a single selected symbol
isby deleting it and replacing it with the new symbol.
