When adding a new component to a schematic, the new component has the correct pin numbers. However, existing components on the sheet that had incorrect pin numbers (e.g., pin number matching pin name instead of sequential 1, 2, 3) are never updated.
Add a new component — it correctly has the right pin numbers
Observe that the existing components still have the old, incorrect pin numbers
Expected Behavior
Running "Update Symbols from Library" or a similar operation should update all existing symbol instances on the sheet with corrected pin data from the library.
Current Behavior
Only newly placed components get the correct pin numbers. Existing instances retain their original (potentially incorrect) pin numbering, even after the library has been fixed.
Workaround
Users must manually delete the old component and re-place it from the library to get the updated pin numbers. Alternatively, use the Symbol Editor to edit pin numbers directly on each instance.
