Model changes in SolidWorks
(OP)
Is there a way for a "Save As"ed part to update not just the assembl but the drawings too? Is there a way to change a drawing view's referenced model?
Thanx

Or you can open the dwg, before you click on Open, select references at bottom, browse to model you want.

Save your model as whatever version your drawing is looking for. Make sure your drawing is closed when you do this. Close the part/assembly. Open your drawing. Now open your part/assembly. Perform the Save As operation for your part/assembly to the proper version name while your drawing is open. Your references will now be correct, and your part/assembly name will also be correct. Delete old file names optionally.

An alternative is to use "Solidworks Explorer". It's found in Start/Programs/Solidworks. Or you can launch it under the "Tools" menu. This tool will allow you to see the links a little easier, just use it to open the drawing and you'll see all referenced file. Right click the part and "Replace".
