Since our last upgrade to Pulsonix 9.1 (build 6870) we are experiencing problems with the use of variants in combination with out (access) database connection.
procedure to reproduce the problem:
Use a new design and create two variants via 'setup variants' place a new component from database edit component properties, select advanced view enter data under shared identifier: variant 1: instance a, attribute a variant 2: instance a, attribute b click apply for variant 2: right click on database partnumber, select 'change database part' select a different part from database (with same footprint as variant 1), click change
Problem: component (database partnumber) for second variant does not change !
Regarding your description, there is no need to go to Advanced View and alter instance and Attribute data, as the act of part replacement should do this for you.
