Tip: Successful Component Replacement
When you replace a component, you must make sure that all references are paired. Consider the following situations:
• When you replace a component in an assembly declared to a notebook, you must replace it using the notebook declarations.
• When references are missing for the replacing component, the Component tab opens. You must specify the component reference, (assembly references are already defined).
• When you replace a pattern member, all pattern members are automatically updated, either immediately or after references are selected in the Component tab.
• Packaged components are replaced in the same way as fully constrained components.
• The same functionality and restrictions apply to all component replacement options:
◦ Select the component in the assembly or Model Tree. Right-click and choose 
Replace from the shortcut menu or click > 
Replace.
Replace from the shortcut menu or click > Replace.◦ In Program, click > > . Select From Model or From File. A text file opens. Replace the component file name with another component in the text file.
◦ When a feature or component fails, you can replace the component. Only applicable replacement methods are available.
◦ When the assembly has a family table and one of the table columns is a component, click > in the Family Table dialog box to replace it with another. Only applicable replacement methods are available.
