Component Editor - Update all patterns

#1 Post by Tomg » 22 Jun 2015, 08:51

When patterns have been changed in the Pattern Editor and a Component Library is using one or more of those changed patterns in large quantities, there should be an easy way to efficiently and quickly update all of the patterns in that Component Library without the cumbersome use of the one-by-one method in the Component Editor's Attach Pattern window. Using an external ASCII editor is not that much better. And both of these methods are prone to introducing errors.

To simplify this task, add another tool to the Component Editor's Library Tools menu called Update all patterns in "[name of currently-open library]" Library. When selected, it should go through all of the components in the currently-open component library and replace each pattern with the appropriate pattern from the pattern libraries. This would save much time and effort and eliminate any chance of introducing errors. (See the example below.)

This needs some attention. Updating is currently very tedious and error prone, if patterns are changed which belong to many components.
