Replacing Assembly Reference with Part Reference

You can change file references from an assembly to a part.

In this example, you replace a sheet metal assembly with a sheet metal part in a drawing view. The sheet metal part was created by removing PEM nuts from the sheet metal assembly.

  1. Open the drawing file that you saved in the previous module, sheet_metal_2_nut.SLDDRW.

    The drawing of the sheet metal assembly with two PEM nuts appears.

  2. Click Replace Model replace_model.png (Drawing toolbar) or Tools > Replace Model.
  3. In the PropertyManager, under Selected Views, click All Views.
  4. Under New Model, browse to select install_dir\samples\whatsnew\drawings\replace_model_in_view\sheet_metal_1.SLDPRT and click Open.
  5. Click PM_OK.gif.

    The drawing is updated to show a sheet metal part with PEM nuts removed, but is otherwise identical to the drawing of the sheet metal assembly.
