This dialog allows you to rename styles and merge similar styles.
Used
The number of symbols using each style is shown in the first column.
Tech
If the style is in the technology file, the second column shows ‘Y’; if not, it shows ‘N’.
Name
The third column displays all the styles used by the symbols/footprints selected plus all the other ones that are in the technology file if you have one selected. If there is more than one style with the same name, but a different value, it will appear with a unique number appended.
Equivalent
The forth column gives the styles that are equivalent to the style in the third column. If there are more than one equivalent style they can be viewed by opening the cell as a dropdown list.
Rename
Click the Rename Style dialog. This will allow you to type in a new name for the style. You can also named your style based on a rule or template. If there is already a style with that name and they are equivalent then the two styles will be merged. If they are not equivalent you will be prompted to see if you want to merge them. In case the style is in technology file, a popup warning will appear, informing you that the style name will not be changed in the technology file.
Merge
If you have only one style selected with equivalent styles, clicking Merge will combine all of the equivalent styles with the one you have selected. Otherwise, a Merge Styles dialog box will appear if there are several styles selected, asking you to decide which style you wish to preserve. The selected style will replace the other styles.
Where Used:
Using the Selected button will report, for each style, the number of symbols using it. If the style is used, the symbols will be listed based on their file path. Likewise, using the All button will report the same information for every style that is present in the dialog.
