Replacing Content

You can replace content such as geometry, features, attributes, and constraints of parts and assemblies. You can replace the content of assemblies that do not contain any child assembly or child part. You can replace content only from locked objects. If an object contains links to other SOLIDWORKS objects, these links are retained in the replaced version of the object.

  1. Select an assembly or a part in MySession and do one of the following.
    • Right-click and select Replace Content.
    • From the action bar, click Tools > Replace Content.
  2. Select an assembly or a part to replace the selected assembly or part and click Open.
    The contents of the selected object is replaced.
    Note: When you replace the content of a multiconfiguration object with the content from another multiconfiguration object:
    • The active configuration is replaced by the selected configuration.
    • Other configurations in the existing object to be replaced are removed.
    • Other configurations in the selected object are added.
