Replace assmebly

[cliffcalgary]

I have a sub assembly that i am trying to replace with another assembly. I use the replace command, the save the assembly with the new sub asm. then reopen the asm and the old sub asm part is still there, not the new one.

Anyone seen this before?

Are you sure your directories aren't getting confused with the file name changes? You may want to make sure you take the new assembly from a different directory in the swap.

Create a new directory.

Go to your master assembly file (that uses the subassemblies), hit File > Find References and copy all your files to the new directory you created. This will make a copy of every file referenced by your master assembly in the new directory, as well as tell each reference to search within the new diretory instead of wherever it was searching before.

cliffcalgary,

Is the sub-assembly not actually being replaced or is the name in the Feature Tree just not updating? If it's the latter, then go to /Tools/Options/External References/ and check "Update component names when documents are replaced".
