Library problem

Layout Footprints
1

Hello,

I created my own footprint some time ago, but recently realised I needed to open the main mounting hole diameter up to 4mm. I went into my footprint library and changed the dimension, checked it with the ‘Measure tool’ and then saved it to the same footprint name. I then updated the PCB from the schematic making sure the footprints were to be updated and there is no change on the PCB. It is still using the original footprint with the undersized hole.

Can someone point me in the right direction here to fix this? Thanks

Select the footprint in layout. Hit e".
Select “Edit Library Footprint” (lower right), just to be sure you updated what you wanted to update.
After that, hit “Update Footprint from Library”. Check the checkboxes there.
That should work (at least it does for me).
