This task shows you how to:

Replace Object Revision from 3DEXPERIENCE Item Manager

You can replace existing revision of altium object from any of available revision in 3DEXPERIENCE. When you execute Replace command on any object under the project which contains unsaved data, a confirmation dialog appears. It says project contains unsaved changes. Do you want to save and continue or to cancel. Click Ok to save the changes and continue or click Cancel to abort the operation

  1. Right-click the altium PCB project and select 3DEXPERIENCE > Item Manager.

  2. Right-click the instance of the altium object that you want to replace and select Replace by revision.

    Note: Replace by revision context menu entry appears only when the selected instance in 3DEXPERIENCE Item Manager uses the same object from 3DEXPERIENCE.

    Replace by revision dialog box appears. All the available revisions of the selected object in 3DEXPERIENCE are listed.
  3. Select one revision and click Assign.
    Selected revision is assigned to the instance in 3DEXPERIENCE Item Manager.
