Replacing components in multiple assemblies
Replacing components in multiple assemblies
(OP)
I need to replace a component that is used in several assemblies.
I opened up all the asm's. I replaced that one component, but it only occurred in the asm I was working on at the time.
Is there a way to replace that one component in all the asm's that are opened up?
Thanks,
Allen

Anyway, I thought about using the copy/paste within the ANT window, which would work but would disassociatte my dimensions on my dwgs.
I found a little faster way to use the "component replace" command than what I was originally using. I was using the "replace component" through the ANT
window on every single component, which leads to more mouse clicks. I kept the replace window up and used "apply" for all the components. It saves some
clicks anyway.
Thanks for the replys.

So if the new component is based on the old one, this would work for you.
I don't know if the behaviour is the same in native though...
