How To Replace An Inserted Part (Base Part) In A Part?
(OP)
In an assembly the Replace Components function exists. Is there an equivalent function for replacing a base part (Insert > Part) in a part?

Everythign we've seen here with the Insert>Part feature in a Part says that once a part is in that is it, it's in. I don't think there is an equivalent feature at the Part level of the REplace part assembly command.

1) Open the finished part.
2) Edit the base part.
3) FILE - SAVE AS - New base part number.
4) CTRL-TAB back to the finished part so it updates and SAVE.
Now if you have to, you can substitute base parts/ part numbers. (or modify the original base part to suit..)
