Resolving Incomplete Dependents Using the Replace Command (SOLIDWORKS)
The Replace command allows you to resolve an incomplete dependency by replacing a missing object with an object from the Windchill database. The command is only available from the Information page of an incomplete object.
To replace an incomplete object, perform the following steps:
1. From the information page of an incomplete object, select Replace from the actions drop-down list. The Replace page appears. Clicking View Details returns you to the information page of the incomplete object.
2. Search or Browse to find a CAD document to replace the incomplete object.
3. Click Ok to replace the incomplete object with the selected document. All the parents of the incomplete object in the workspace are updated to reflect the selected object and the incomplete object is deleted. If the parents are in CAD application session, you are prompted to replace the objects in session. To commit the changes after replacing the incomplete object, upload the documents.
