livespace josha Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I have 6 variants of a symbol, with an arrow pointing in different directions. I use these for callouts on electrical support drawings. I attach a record, which populates a worksheet. Issue example: - I start with the "arrow up" symbol, and enter in all the data. - due to some layout issue, I need to swap it to the "arrow down" symbol. - I use the "replace symbol" command in the OIP - when I do that, all my record entries get reset to the default values. So I need to re-enter the values Is there some way to keep my record entry values when I replace the symbol? Maybe thinking there is something like the Attribute Mapping tool to do this?

markdd Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Have you tried the replace with symbol command in the modify menu. This has a Record option that may do the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment
livespace josha Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) @markddThat's it, thanks! Never thought of using the replace symbol command on a symbol. The only odd thing is that I lose my symbol scaling (that's a minor issue and a quick fix) Edited September 3, 2020 by livespace josha Quote Link to comment
