You can replace an assembly component with an unrelated component, by creating a pairing table. The table contains the placement references from both components. These references can be established manually or using auto-pairing rules. The pairing table pairs each current component placement reference with the incoming component placement reference. Required references, indicated by
, must be paired, while optional references can be left unpaired. The pairing table is saved and can be used to return the original component to the assembly.
