Hi Jody -
I you want to modify the appearance of an MvPart in
a current drawing without replacing it, here are some simple steps that should
help you out (example is based on changing the appearance of part in 2 line
plan):
1. Add your new block definitions(s) to your
drawing.
2. Select the MvPart.
3. Right click - choose Edit MvPart
Style
4. Go to the views tab.
5. On the top screen, scroll down to and
select the appropriate view (Two Line - Top, usually view 9)
6. Make sure the lower left screens say the
following: Display Representation = 2 Line, View Direction = Top
7. In the view block drop down, change the
anonymous block designation *??? to the block definition you added to the
drawing.
8. Note that it will be up to you and
your drawing skills to make sure the new block has all the correct geometry and
insertion point.
9. Select Okay - all the MvParts of that
style will be updated with your new view block.
Note that you can change connector locations and
other intelligent data on the part on the other screens. You must
redefine the MvPart through MvPartBuilder if you want to change its
insertion point.
I hope this helps!

No
kidding, all I'm looking to do is redefine mine existing Mvparts within the
drawing. If I have reconnect some ducts, fine. But at least that would be
better than deleting everyone prior to replacing them and then trying to hunt
down each spot that was deleted.
