When populating several parts with the same feeder not all values are picked up first time how to recreate. In part list, mark more than 1 part, say R1 and R2, right click, select part edit then select the feeder value needed, click in mount part, click ok. Now a lot of values are populated but NOT visual alignment, that one is always selected NOT to happen.
If you do this with only one part selected it works as expected and the feeder values for alingment is picked up correctly. The only way to come around this (as far as I know) is either to run through each part and select feeder OR when you've selected the feeder once, select all the parts again, right click ->part edit, again select the feeder (even though it's all the same its still greyed out) then click feeder edit, when you press ok to come back to part edit, it has now picked up the visual alignment setting.
This is very annoying since normally we have 30-40 of one part in the list.
As I understand you mean if multiple lines selected in part list and you click part edit, then select feeder and click ok not all feeder parameters copied totally? Please post some screen shots to explain exactly.
