By default Replace by Revision applies following conditions:

  • Replace by Revision does not overwrite a locally modified object by default.
  • Replace by Revision does not overwrite an object that is open in SOLIDWORKS.
  • Replace by Revision overwrites a local object, if it is not locally modified and it is not open in SOLIDWORKS.
  • Replace by Revision overwrites a local object with revision B, if revision A exists locally and above conditions are met.
  • Replace by Revision on a locally modified object is possible, only when you confirm to overwrite the modifications and confirm the targeted revision.
