Replacing Part in Drawing?
Replacing Part in Drawing?
(OP)
I have to very similar parts that I need prints of I already have one completely dimensioned an toleranced. Is there anyway I can keep that format an dimensions and just replace the part? An will it keep references?






RE: Replacing Part in Drawing?
1. Create a copy of the drawing.
2. Using the File->Open command in SW, choose (not dbl click) the file, then click the "References" button.
3. Replace the first file with the second.
If you've modeled both parts from scratch then you're out of luck.
