Updating drawing views to different parts
Updating drawing views to different parts
(OP)
I have just opened a part and up-issued it, (done a saveas) but I forgot to open the drawing, to update that. Does anyone know how to update the drawing, 'after the event' as it were? I don't really want to re-create all the views, to show the new part, as I will have to re-create all the annotations as well - there are lots of these.
It seems straight forward enough to do the same sort of thing in an assembly, but I can't, for the life of me, find out how to do it in a drawing.

It is a bit of a lengthy process and I would be interested if anybody has a better way of up issuing parts and drawings.

BUT
Just before you open the drawing, click on the references button near the lower right hand corner of the open file dialog.
Now change the file references to point to your new model
Open the drawing
Do a saveas for your drawing
