To Replace a Flexible Component with a New Copy
1. In an open assembly, select one or more components to be replaced, right-click, and select from the shortcut menu or click Operations > Replace. The Replace dialog box opens.
2. Click By Copy.
3. Accept the default name or enter a name for the new component in the File Name text box.
4. Select or clear the Maintain flexibility check box.
 
* If the Maintain flexibility check box is cleared, the new copy contains the same geometry as the flexible component without the flexibility factor.
5. Click OK.
