Commandline: none

Explanation

Find and replace text found in any drawing and in editable fields of the project databases. The found list will tell you the context in which the searched text appears.

NOTE: found text may occur in an invisible attribute.

Changiing a port name on a device using the Find and Replace tool requires that you change the text in the following contexts:

•	The visible attribute.

•	The invisible CP_IN or CP_OUT attribute string. This is a pipe delimited string that contains the name\|conn\|type. You must change the name portion of this.

•	Any records that exist in the Project Cables table that reference that port.
