Replace an Item

This feature can be used to replace an item in the scene with a different item from your organization’s Parts Library. The feature is often used when there is a new version of a given part. Replacements into the scene tree are saved automatically and all users viewing the scene will see the updated scene tree.

1. Open a model in Publishing mode.
2. In the scene tree, right-click on the item you want to replace to open the context menu.
3. Select Replace in the menu.
   1. Note that if you do not have the Publish context menu enabled in your User Settings, then the Replace menu option will be located in the Modify fly-out menu.
      
4. In the Parts Library dialog, locate the desired part to replace the existing part.
   1. You can search by the part’s name or supplied id. To change the search method, select the gear icon next to the search bar.
5. Select Replace to replace the existing part with the part selected in the dialog.
