Ability to change component type in Spec Editor

Ability to change component type in Spec Editor

It would be nice to have the ability to change the component type (the graphics, where the connection type is displayed) in the Spec Editor, so you don't have to create new components all the time.

 

For example:

I have created a flanged ball valve. Now I want the same valve again, but with a threaded connection. At the moment, I have to create a new component and put in all the diameters again.

It would be much easier to just copy the valve I already have, change the component type to a valve with the same body, but with different end connections, and then just put in the diameters for the threaded connection, because all the other diameters are already there.

 

Would be good to have this soon.

Duplicate Component and then assign the end type can make it works as expected.
