You can't change the drawing view links manually via Edit > Links, but you can do it with a vba script as itsmyjob recommended. See code below and attached images.
CODE --> vba

It's an awful workaround, and I wouldn't recommend it.
Does that macro work as well as it sounds?

Till now i was also getting the message of link refused, but now it is solved.
Just one more question ,will it work for complicated & bulky cat products & cat parts ?

I don't know. You'll have to test it. To be honest, I don't use it too much. If CATIA doesn't allow you to relink drawing views manually because of the "Link refused" error message then it makes me apprehensive to do it programmatically. I only use it out of necessity. It might retain ghost links, cause other problems behind the scenes, etc. I would use KevinDeSmet's suggestion of nesting components inside a shell CATProduct so that the drawing is always linked to that CATProduct. Then your subparts and subproducts can be swapped without encountering the "Link refused" error message. My two cents...

RE: Linke refused.................
A batch bulk solution it will be much more complicated but it can be done, you need to know what to relink exactly.
I know also a company using the solution with catproducts but only because of the pdm system, no connection with uuid.

RE: Linke refused.................
And how about the cat drawing to be created from a cat part & not from cat product ?
Please correct me if i have misunderstood.
