I have just tried to change the default reference on a component but the change is not translated on the pcb.
Anybody have a clue on how to force this to happen.
Thanks |

I've not gone any further on this as the design had to go.
I have tried so many ways to change it it was easier to start a new component.
I'll just be more careful with naming. |

I wonder if you have changed it in the Component in the library and are expecting it to update existing components in the design to reflect that change?
If so, then that is where the confusion has arisen. The Default Reference is exactly that, a default for when components are first added to a design. After that you can call them whatever you want.
If you need to rename some components then you may need to look at the Rename function, but that may turn out to do more than what you want in that it can swap names on all names with a given stem, but not selectively by a particular type of component.

I presume you have renamed a component's designator in the schematic. Use,-
Tools> Forward Design Changes... from the Schematic Editor.
Otherwise please give more background information.
