Unable to replace the model
Unable to replace the model
(OP)
Hi,
When download the reference drawing from smart team, save management the drawing only and tried to change the reference model by edit link, pointed document & replace, it refuses to change and shows error.
I tried this method, when the drawing set up, dimensions to be given in the new drawing is same, but, the model is different. It will help me to save the repeated dimensioning and view taken time.
Kindly suggest any solution.
Suresh

you cannot replace a drawing link with any part. there is something called as UUID ( unique identifier ) for every file which is considered for linking. you will have to re generate the drawing from the required part.

there are also some not free softwares over the Internet that can do that.
RE: Unable to replace the model

The procedure its like this:
1. first you have to have the drawing and the part/ product that you want to link to in the same folder.
2. Open the drawing
3. go to Edit/Links/Pointed Documents/ Replace. From there copy the old name of the part that the drawing was linked to. Close the Drawing
4. Open the part/Product. Make Save as and paste the name that you copied before. Close the part/product
5. Open the Drawing. Go to File / Desk select the old name of the part/product , make right click / open. Then close desk window. If you go now to the drawing , go to links, the link is now ok.
6. In drawing select all the brocken views, right click on one of them/ select objects/ modify links/ ok. Remove the brocken link. Confirm with ok. Then update.
7. Enjoy the new linked file.
Have a nice day:)

1. open old part and drawing.
2. go to save management and save as both files
3. open drawing and go to links.
4. git replace model.
5. update drawing.
done.
i'm also doing that for assemblies where all parts are connected to each other.
to create a new mold and new drawing takes like 5 minutes.
checked some websites for s specific software. well it's not so cheap. 500 euro minimum for a seat.
