Hello,

I have a PCB project which is called TESTJIG-1

I keep on updating it to be called TESTJIG-2 , TESTJIG-3, etc etc.

The scm, pcb, scmlib, pcblib are called TESTJIG-X too (where x is the corresponding number)

Anyway, i am on TESTJIG-5 now, and the preceeding ones are stored away for safe keeping, just in case i ever need them again.

Anyway, i noticed that the footprints in the pcb editor are still referring to PCBLIB-3.

Why havent they updated to be looking at PCBLIB-5?, after all, PCBLIB-3 is no0t in the current project.
 

Just we can install new PCB LIb to libraries, then it will be update
 
how do i update so that my schem and pcb look at PCBLIB-5 rather than PCBLIB-3. (i mean, its the same componants in each library, bar one or two, just different name library)

1st in libraries install pecblib-5 then schematics--> tools--> foot print manager, here we can assign footprints to each component form PCBLIB-5, then update to schmatics to PCB
