How do you change Ref Des for new parts?

I have created several parts of different types but they all have the same reference designation letter "U" attached to them. How do I alter the reference designation letters for individual types?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The RefDes prefix (the U) is assigned based on the family where the part is saved in the database. You can change the default RefDes prefix in the Database Manager:
1. Click Tools > Database > Database Manager
2. Select the Family tab
3. Browse to and select the Family where you saved the components
4. Change the Default Prefix to the prefix of your choice

    How do you change your thumbprint for the iphone 5s?

    Go to Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode, enter your passcode, then Turn Passcode Off will delete all current fingerprints. You can then turn passcode back on and enter fingerprints.
    Rather than deleting, you can also add the same fingerprint a second time via "Add a fingerprint" in Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode, enter your passcode, then Touch ID.

    How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

    Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone.  Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

  • How do you change default settings for Pdf document viewing?

    The default is Preview, and you change it thus:
    Select a pdf file, rightclick and select 'Get Info', in the pane that opens scroll down to the section marked 'Open With', select Preview and check the box to 'Change All'

  • How do you change the music for an export from a selection of pictures?

    I have iTunes and know how to change the music for a slideshow but if I select pictures from a folder and export to QuickTime how do I change the music?
    There is an option to "Add currently selected music to movie" but it always plays the same tune. How do I get an option to select an iTunes song like with the Slideshow? Where are the slideshow sample music files stored? There are 11 files in the sample folder but I can't find any of them on my drive.

    Maybe there is some confusion in what I'm telling you. There are two types of slideshows in iPhoto. One creates a special slideshow album that appears in the Source pane on the left side. This is not the one I'm talking about. (You create one of these slideshow albums when you select some photos and click the Slideshow icon (the one with a Plus sign on it) at the bottom of the iPhoto window.
    The other slideshow is done from the main library window or from a regular album (not a slideshow album). You either select some photos (or a roll) from the Library or select an album (with a folder icon). Then click the Play button which is on the bottom right hand side of the iPhoto window.
    If your Play button is on the left side, then you aren't using the correct one. The one that appears on the left side shows when you've selected a Slideshow Album from the source pane. This type of album has an icon that looks like a couple of slides (the kind you put in a projector).
    Does that make a difference?

  • How can you change text varaible for offset fiscal year

    Hello all,
    I am using variable for fiscal year (0P_GJAHR) and then I am using text varaible (&0T_FYEAR&) so that the fiscal year comes up in the key figure column.
    Now I am offsetting the fical year variable by -1 so that I can get comaprison between current year and previous year but the text varaible still shows the current year, how do you offset the text varaible by -1 ?
    Thanks in advance

    Yes Bhanu actually results pretty ok. I am inputting fiscal year as 2007 and so the offset is 2006. My cibe does not have data for 2007 so the first column is empty and I have data in 2nd (offset) column whic is right data for 2006.
    I will try what you suggested.
    Thanks
    Edited:
    When I say RKF, i created it on LHS and then when I am trying to offset what I do is basically do the restrict again for fiscal year when its on right hand side. I hope I am doing that right?
    Thanks

  • How do you change users on the new ipad

    Need help stwitching users on the new iPad.

    Great answere Kappy. I will be doing this on my daughter's iPad so my son can borrow it for a while. My question is: Is there a way to restore the original owner's info back without going through all the settings again when they switch back?
    The only way to do this is to do a backup of your iPad through iTunes on a computer before you wipe it clean and set it up as a new device. Do NOT rely on iCloud backup for this. Then, you'll need to be sure you give the iPad a different name when you set it up for your son. Better yet, either sync it to a different computer or don't sync it to a computer.
    If you make sure you don't delete that backup on your computer, then you can restore from it later to return it to its current state.

  • How do you change page order in new Pages???

    Old pages was nice and simple in this regard - highlight a page and move it up or down the thumbnail viewer to change the page order.
    Now it doesn't do that.
    AGH!!
    Or am I missing something?

    No, you're not missing anything. It's just one of the many, many features that have been eliminated or changed. Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu.
    If you previously had iWork '09, those apps are still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork '09. You can continue to use them to get things done.
    If you want to do this in Pages 5 you'll have to select all of the content you want to move, cut & then paste into the new locations.

  • How do you change the user for Home Sharing on the Apple TV?

    I need to change the user on the Apple TV for Home Sharing but can't figure how or where to do it in the Apple TV settings. Can anyone help? Thank you.

    I bought my ATV at the Apple store Zurich Switzerland.  All the movies default to German. I hired a US movie and pressed and held the play/pause button once the movie had started but only the chapter menu displayed and there were no options to change the language (from the default German to English)
    Are all movies flagged on Swiss accounts only available in German? Is there a way of pointing my ATV to a different server.

  • How do you change "Owners Enabled" for a drive in disk utility?

    Hi all,
    I just got a new Mac Pro and added a couple of internal drives to it. After formatting them in disk utility I noticed that "Owners Enabled" is set to "No" for them. This concerns me. How do I set it to "Yes"?
    These are the things I tried:
    - I verified that "Ignore ownership on this volume" is unchecked in finder. I actually toggled it on and then off.
    - I used "vsdbutil" in terminal to enable permissions for the volume and verified, using it, that they are indeed enabled.
    - I unmounted and remounted the drives in disk utility.
    - I restarted my machine.
    Basically nothing I've done has been effective at turning on "Owners Enabled" for the drives. How do I do that? And what exactly does it mean if it's set to "No".
    Thanks for any help, I wish this was all clearer.

    FYI, 755 only allows write by owner, group is read and execute only. 775 would allow group write as well. 777 is read, write, execute for everybody.
    Anyway, a coworker pointed me towards diskutil which seems to be the current best way to muck with disk settings.
    http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man8/diskutil.8.html
    It specifically has an "enableOwnership" command which would be run something like this:
    diskutil enableOwnership /Volumes/DriveName
    or
    diskutil enableOwnership /dev/disk2
    You can do all kinds of other stuff too with diskutil. It looks like an excellent way to quickly screw up your drive.
    Thanks again for your help, I have quite a number of things to try now.

  • How can I change Aperture permissions for new user account

    I migrated my old user account (Ezra) to my new Mac mini from my old MBP laptop, but it would not allow me to keep the same name, (Ezra) so I picked a new one (Karyn). The problem is that now I can't access any of my other Aperture Libraries on my external storage array (Drobo) due to permissions errors. What is the best course of action to get back to working with Aperture? Is there a way to change an existing user account name to match what it used to be? I want the (Ezra) account from the Mac mini to eventually migrate to a freshly purchased Macbook Air later, then I could delete it from the Mac mini to rid the problem of duplicate user account names.

    Sounds like when you installed the new system you created a user account on it and then used migration assistant to copy over the files from the old system,. IS this correct?
    If so you will have other problems down the road with other applications also. The best thing to so if you still have the old system and have not done to much work on the new system  is to redo the install and use setup assistant. This way your old account will be brought over to the new system and you will not have permissions problems.
    You can try one thing. Do a Get Info on the Drobo Drive and see if at the bottom of the Info window you see this:
    If that is there for the drive (and I don;t know if the Drobo will have this option) you can select the box and you might be able to get at your libraries.
    As I wrote however, even of you fix this problem there is a good chance you will run into others later on.
