Renaming a View

To rename a view:

1. Select the view you want to rename.
2. Choose Edit – Rename.
   The Rename View form appears.
   
   
   The name of the view you selected appears in the From View field. The entire cellview path appears in the title banner of the form.
3. In the To View field, type the new name for the view.
   The new view name cannot duplicate an existing view name for the cell.
4. Deselct Update Instances.
   • When Update Instances is selected, the Library Manager overwrites any occurrences of the From View name with the To View name.
     If you rename symbol to symbolA (for example), all instances of …/projectLib/buff/symbol are changed to …/projectLib/buff/symbolA.
   • When Update Instances is unselected, the Library Manager keeps references to the From View name.
     If you rename symbol to symbolA with Update Instances unselected, instances of …/projectLib/buff/symbol (for example) remain the same such that they become unbound instances unless you replace the symbol view.
5. Click OK.

The Library Manager changes the name of the selected view (From View) to the new name (To View).

If you are working with a design-managed library, the Rename Library dialog box shows an additional section.
