substitute custom symbol with attached databanks curious problem


Recommended Posts

It is just how records are attached to symbols.  The symbol is not the "object", so if you replace the symbol, the "object" and any records attached are not changed.

 

When a symbol definition has a record attached, and that symbol is inserted into the drawing you get a symbol instance with an instance of the record attached that contains all of the data from the record attached to the symbol definition. The record attached to the symbol is then no linked in any way to the record attached to the symbol definition.

 

So when you insert the first symbol, the instance gets an instance of the first record attached.

 

When you replace the first symbol with the second, you get the second symbol plus an instance of the second recorder attached to the "object". The first record is still attached to the "object" that is having the symbol replaced. 

 

So now the "object" has both records attached.
