How do I do this is Altium 18? Is there an elegant and easy way? Such a pro application should have something similar, I have not found one.Each new project includes a new solution, new details, and new compromises to which the engineer MUST pay attention. Of course, you need to ECO the changes to the PCB but if the schematic and PCB decals are the same, there is no need for any additional routing or editing, the component(s) is/are just replaced with another one.

Then you pick the new component from the active library and you are done. There it is fairly easy you just select the component(s) in the schematic and right click and select 'replace components'. Having many years of experience with PADS. Now resistors here and there need to be changed not just to the final value by changing some attribute - but to the final Altium Content Vault component. This is quite often a typical workflow - you don't have on hand all final values when you start the schematic entry. Let's take as an example a design that was started in a hurry by placing a bunch of 10k resistors from the Altium Content Vault all over the design as placeholders for all needed resistors. However, I am still looking for an elegant and fast way to replace singles or group of components in the schematic with other ones.

The selection of any components or their attributes is now really simple in Altium 18.

First I want to express my respect for what you do in general, but especially regarding your Altium tutorials.
