Change internal mapping of 3D parts

Hello

 

Im trying to understand how this principle works in Inventor.

Case:

 

We have 2 different bolts, 1 is constrained in an assembly.
Example of how this could be constrained, 2 red planes coincident, 2 coincident axises.

Now we want to replace this bolt with a bigger one, so we replace the part in the assembly.
The result is this:

My question is:

How can we edit the second bolt so that is has the same position as the first bolt when replaced in the assembly?

- Can we rename the internal parameter from edges/planes to same one as the first bolt?

- Do we just need to make sure the XYZ matches?

- does autodesk has tools to edit the part references?

- Any ilogic solutions?

 

I did not find any topics regarding this issue.

 

I want to know this to correct legacy data. I want to know what the limitations are on this subject.

 

Thanks!
