Reverting Back to a Previous Revision

Reverting Back to a Previous Revision

Reverting Back to a Previous Revision

(OP)
Hello all,

I have run into a situation where I have a dozen parts all put together to form an assembly.

On one part, I have created a "Revision B" with updated changes.

Now, it has been determined that "Revision A" is "better" and we want to replace the new version with the old version.

How do I tell my assembly to go back to Revision A on that specific part?

Regards,
Grant

RE: Reverting Back to a Previous Revision

Load your assembly with No Components.
The component you want to load the older of version of, in the ANT, RMB and use the Load Component As and select the older component from its directory.
Save the assembly.

Did you mean "OPEN Component as"?

You could always do a substitute, if there aren't drafting complications to reassociate and clean up.
Open as, is a good command though.
