I am trying to replace a custom part - created from a content center part - with a copied part with a different name. (I am using the replace tool in an assembly.) However, Inventor is not replacing the part with the part I pick but rather the content center version of it. How can I stop it from doing that?
(Side question: Why would it be designed like that?)
Welcome to the forum.
What version of Inventor are you using?
I am able to get mine to swap out a non CC part.
It looks like since you are replacing a CC part is wants to default back to the CC.
What I would do is remove the CC part and then insert the part you need.
I did end up removing the part and putting in the part I needed. But I do think it should be able to replace the part with the part I select not it's own part. I recently upgraded to Inventor 2013 up from 2011. I never had this issue in 2011.
Thank you for the reply Scott,

I totally agree with you. Like I said I was able to in my version.
That's why I asked you what version you were running because if you are running the same then there is
no reason why yours shouldn't work the same way.
