Sometimes you want to be able to easily edit multiple pins at the same time (e.g. position or size) without double-clicking every single one. One option to simplify batch editing would be a table based editing UI. ![mockup-2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/librepcb1/original/1X/77733d74a2ff25fed3f53000acf069c9e480e195.png) (Sorry for the bad mockup…) On top of that, maybe we could add functionality to edit multiple cells at once. But even if it’s just simple to navigate and copy/paste in that table, it would simplify editing some footprints/symbols a lot. Filter options could be added as well (e.g. search name by regex, or filter by shape, etc). ---

Loving it, especially if there would/could be a button “change all to selected” underneath each column? ---

Hi, In principe, I put some similar idea yet: [Mass editing](https://librepcb.discourse.group/t/mass-editing/118/3) Example: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/librepcb1/original/1X/fcaaefa54a66b084b117467aa662d0b49eb273c3.png) Perfect will be for mass/batch edit, of the same attributes for all parts in used/selected libraries… Of course, also for PCB and schematic editor also (batch edit of the same attributes). I call for it! ---

> [@EdizonTN](#): > > In principe, I put some similar idea yet: [Mass editing](https://librepcb.discourse.group/t/mass-editing/118/3) Yes, very similar, but you want to mass-edit library elements, while I want to mass-edit objects within one library element. ---

I was also looking for a mass editing feature, but was thinking more in the lines of selecting multiple elements in schematic editor / board editor, open up the properties view (via e.g. double click), and then make common changes that should apply to all the elements. Currently, when I bring up the properties widget and make a change, it only applies to one element, not all the selected ones
