[kicad-users] Re: How to force update of schematic file when changing part in library?

[keeneybrian]

Thanks for both of your suggestions.  Unfortunately, neither seems to be born 
out, at least in my build.  I'm using 20080825c-final on windows xp.  Any ideas 
out there about how to wipe the internal .sch cache of the part?

Thanks,
Brian
