Replacing by Existing Minor Revision (Overload)

You can overload the current revision of a product, 3D part, 3D shape, and drawing with an existing minor revision.

Note: When you open a product structure with a minor revision, the Best So Far (BSF) minor revision is loaded by default.
Important: By default, this command is not displayed. If you do not see this command, ask your administrator to select Enable Minor Revision Authoring Commands in the parameterization console. For more information, see Platform Management Administration Guide.

Before you begin: Open an assembly that has a component in its BSF minor revision.
Note: To overload the minor revision of a component, this component must not be open in another editor as a root.
