replace a part/component in drawing
replace a part/component in drawing
(OP)
Hi, experts;
I am having this trouble:
First, I built an assembly named assembly_original.
Then, I used this assembly to create a drawing called drawing_A.
Then, I copied assembly_original, and modified it as assembly_modified.
Since assembly_original has not changed, drawing_A will not change.
Now I want drawing_A to use assembly_modified as the model, instead of assembly_original. This way I will have the changes made in assembly_modified reflected in drawing_A. How can I do this?
Thanks!

Alternatively, I think you can save the drawing as assembly_modified.slddrw, although I am not sure.

Go to part/assy, save as new file name. Select yes to update dwg. Go to dwg, do save as to new file name.
Continue work.

2. Click on References button (below Cancel button).
3. Double-click on assembly_original under New Path Name.
4. Select assembly_modified and click Open.
5. Click OK and click Open.
Your drawing should reference assembly_modified.

The method by rlj4794 works smoothly. So I think the case is closed.
