Thanks for the reply - that half worked and has me heading in the right direction.
 
Best regards,
Bryan.

It's been awhile since I updated my offpage symbols, but this is what I remember.
After you've updated your Pwr,Gnd and offpage symbols, you need to save your default startup file with all the new items. Exit the program, start it up again and check that your new symbols are there on the default startup.
On existing schematics I believe I had to ascii out the schematic, start a new schematic (using your new default startup) and ascii it back in. Your new pwr, gnd and offpage symbols should be there.

Ok folks - this issue is driving me crazy and one of you must know how to solve it.
 
I am trying to standardise our Power, GND & Off-Page symbols for our Engineers who are scattered across multiple sites. Each team has their own favorite symbols so I have updated $GND_SYMS, $OSR_SYMS & $PWR_SYMS in our master library.
The problem is that when I try to update any existing schematic using Tools>Update from Library> then selecting only Power, GND or Off-Page symbols it fails to update as $GND_SYMS has either more or renamed symbols within it.
Does anyone know how to do this globally on a schematic without having to delete all and start over?
 
Thanks in advance,
Bryan.
