hi prince ,


first export the footprint from board file, file export ---> library save it in one location
open your schematic which symbol footprint to change right click --> edit property
generate net list

in board file --->go to setup---> user preference --> change libary path for your footprint location (pad path , psm path )

and then

import the netlist file in your board
