change library reference of all cells in a library

schee

How to change the libName of all cells in a libray?

Basically what I want is Library Manager's Edit->Rename Instances, where the "From Library" is any library. Apprarently putting * there doesn't do the job.

Thanks

  • Andrew, thanks for your response. Weird, the menu is indeed in my stock IC5141 installation. It's the 4th item on the Edit menu in Library Manager.

    I must have confused you with what I was trying to do. I don't want to rename a library, I want to rename the referenced library of all cells referenced in a same library. For example, my library A contains cell B, whose schematic instances cell C from another library D. I want to rename "D" to "A". Normally I would just use the aforementioned Library Manager manu to rename all instances "From Library D" "To Library A". But if there are many different outside library references, this has to be done for each one, which is a bit tedious. That's why I think a Skill script might be the solution.
