Sometimes there will be some symbols which lose their RefDes,The only sulution is to update symbol.

Place----Update Symbol

I can use a list contain the symbol name to update the symbol,but not to update one package type

How can I creat the lst file.

I used to make a TXT file contains the symbol RefDes,then I changed the expanded name from txt to lst but it didn't help

Anyone who knows how to creat the lst symbol,please help me fix the problem

Thanks

    The lst file needs to contain a list of the footprints (symbols) names that you want to update. i.e 0603, 0805 etc This is not for a list of Ref Des. If you want to change a specific ref des the best way would be to either give it a different footprint name ie 0603_1 or add an alt_symbol to the part.
