symbol replacement

[hong]

Whenever I bring a symbol into the current drawing from other files through resource brower, I suppose to be asked whether I want to replace the existing symbol or use the one already in the file if the symbol name is identical. At least this is the way the I understood how the symbol works.

But I have experienced serveral times so far that this symbol replacement process is not working. It works only the first time when I bring in the symbol with the same name. But afterward it does not ask me to replace or use the symbol. I am wodering this is the way VW supposes to behave or another one of those bugs. Does anybody has the same experience?

I think VW only asks use/rename/replace when the symbols (their contents) are different.

So after the first time, if you choose replace, they become the same and VW stops asking.

Yes. But if the content of the symbol had modified, it should keep asking 'use/rename/replace' in order to reflect those changes in the symbol. But it doesn't work.
