Changing all resistor footprints in a design

Hi, I have trouble formulating my question for the search. Perhaps someone will be able to help me. My problem is this: I have an almost complete design schematic with hundreds of resistors. Apparently the pcb footprint of said resistors has changed. Is there a way to change the footprint (ie the propperty "PCB Footprint" in cadence) of these resistors (all have the same kind of part in capture) at once or must one manually go through all the components? Thanks in advance! -Lauri

You could try edit - browse parts then select just the resistors you want to change and CTRL E. You can then find the PCB footprint column and edit the footprint there.

That Ctrl-E is a great tool. Had 50 pages of schematics on one board with a lot of edits. It took a while to get all 50 pages loaded into memory, but then I was able to sort by value and make rapid corrections.

You can also right click on the schematic folder and "Edit Object Properties" in a spreadsheet style format.
