How to update model to current version in an assembly

[prcdslnc13]

Im modeling a large assembly (>100 parts) so I have been working the parts for my assembly out side of the "assembly" design to make them a bit easier to manage. It has been working great but as I work and find changes that need to be made, I am having uses updating the part in the "assembly" to the current version of the part file without completely deleting and replacing it. 

I feel like I am doing something wrong and maybe missing a function. Can someone please help? Im used ot working in Creo and this is my first jaunt into 360.

Hi prcdsInc13, 

Thank you for bring out this issue after using Fusion 360. Currently, we don't support updating models in assembly. And there is a same idea post in linked cad files on IdeaStation. We are considering this suggestion which is posted by you.

thanks,

Gavin

I feel like this is a feature that is absolutly needed for Fusion 360. The nature of the program, both with the colloaboration and the project file setup makes this a natural feature that should have been there from the start. This is a program that is on its way to being a solid software solution now that the history bar has been added. That still needs work but the ability to link models and update to their current version is extremely important.

I ran into the same problem!  I would also like to see some way to update your "assembly" design when changes are made to your "component" design files.

Add me to the list too. This is a feature that is very much needed.

Even bigger issue if you are going to machine the parts after designing them.  Can't wait for assemblies to be "fully" supported.  Still love the program though!!!
