Modified SVG file, schematic is updated but in PCB not changes

Just for the record, I don’t find Inkscape convenient to use on a Mac (it runs in an X11 emulator), so I use Illustrator for all of my drawing tasks (Breadboard, PCB & Schematic), import those files into the Parts Editor to create the necessary Metadata and ‘tie the views together’—this also automatically corrects Illustrator’s dimensioning ‘problem’—export the part from the Parts Editor, unpack that using the fzpzclean.py script and correct the current Parts Editor shortcomings with a regular text editor, before running the component files through the FritzingCheckPart.py script. And there’s often a ‘wash, rinse, repeat’ cycle in there to correct errors…

As @vanepp says, however you do it, a little more complicated than just a few commands in any editor…
