There should be an entry [eeschema/libraries] LibNameN=mylib below the LibDir= entry. If that is missing, then the remapping algorithm will not be able to remap symbols to that library. > >>>> /i/pcbs/kicad_parts$ ll mylib* >>>> -rw-rw---- 1 dick develop 286715 Apr 16 2018 mylib.bak >>>> -rw-rw---- 1 dick develop 785 Sep 27 16:12 mylib.bck >>>> -rw-rw---- 1 dick develop 785 Sep 27 16:12 mylib.dcm >>>> -rw-rw---- 1 dick develop 300397 Sep 27 16:12 mylib.lib > > > >> >> entry in the project file?
