Hello,
Using Explorer 6.  
I have a Symbols file being decoded and the channels are displayed using a Instrument Panel. This is working OK.

As our product develops new Symbol files are issued and the Symbol file name is indexed for each version.
In my project I have disabled the old Symbols and Applied the new sysmbols. 

None of the Instruments Panel elements update to the new DBC.
I cannot see a method to bulk apply a new Symbols file to a previously created Instruments file.    

Can you please advise.
Kind regards, John. 

You must create your own instrument panel for each symbol file. The reference is fixed.
When you script or manually change a symbol file in a project, the reference to the old symbol file and signals is still part of the instruments.
Use multiple (Z-order) instruments and switch the Z-layer to fit depending on the symbol field applied.
However, this means that you must create a copy of an instrument pane layer for each new symbol file.
An alternative would be to use "search and replace" to replace the signals directly in the IPF file (panel file).
You could certainly do that with a script, but it's a bit complex.

Thank you for the responce.
Understood. I will look at ways I can make it work for our application.
Regards, John.
