Is it possible to list all the components using a certain schematic symbol?
I edited a symbol a year ago used in several components and only just found out the consequences when I ‘updated component’ on another old design! Now I need to know for sure which components use it before I correct the library.
Thanks
Al

Thanks David, that worked perfectly.

You should be able to do this from the Library Manager dialog. On the schematic symbols tab, find and select the symbol you have been working on. Now click the Report button, and you should get a dialog that allows you to "Find Components using each symbol" for "Only selected items". That should give you a list of the components that could be affected by changing that symbol.
