Replace Component in Drawing and Maintain Measurements

antonioXB8Z7 — Fri, 30 May 2025 00:43:09 GMT

Hello!

I'm working on the 3D of some rings. I need to prepare all ring sizes, there are about 30.
I would like to also prepare drawings for each size.

All rings look the same. Same specs and same thickness. Changes only the inside/outside diameter proportionally.

Is there a way to "replace component" in the drawing and maintain all picked measurements and positions/views as you could do in an assembly for example?

Reasons:
- I'll need to make 30 sizes, so it's very time consuming.

- I'd like that all drawings look exactly the same, including the positioning of the views. So that if I scroll through the various papers it will be a very smooth experience.

I can't find a replace command, so my question is: is this possible?

Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback. Replace component is not supported so far, and we have tracked this requirement as internal ticket for planning. DID is FUS-203138. CC: @Pramod.kadam ; @anirudha_kulkarniHVD7C ; @sandip_dumbare

There is a workaround for your case, show as below. Hope it meets your requirement.

1, Create configurations in your 3D design, you can specify 30 configurations with different size by your requirement

2, Create drawing views from one configuration

3, Right hit the drawing view and switch configuration from existing to another.

I just learned about configurations thanks to your suggestion. This feature is quite useful!

I will try this out.

Thank you!
