Tim I'm sure there is an easier way but I've done similar in the past using DXP.
In the library editor, goto tools/parameter manager, select just parts. In the spreadsheet window select the entire column you want to modify (all parts) and copy it. Open Excel or similar and paste in. Use excels search and replace functions. Select the cells again and paste back into DXP, in the same position you got it from. This did the job pretty quickly when I was in a rush and couldn't get a query to do it.....

Basically all I want to do is change the "LTD" in the part number of one of the text fields to "TTD". I could edit each part separately but that would probably be a solid week or two of work. Is there a way to export to a spreadsheet or do a global change in the library editor to make this quick and easy? I don't care which software package I do it in because I can go between the two with DXP.
