you can use the design assistant and replace the modell in the ipn-file
You can always use the manual hack method:
This is only possible if the replacement assembly file is a copy of the original, I suspect. The whole presentation is likely to fail if it's not.
Update: just tried it in 2025-- if not a copy of the original file all tweaks are lost, which probably defeats the purpose of replacing the file rather than just creating a new one. If the replacement is a copy of the original, then tweaks are retained where possible.

thank you! It works for my situation! BR,
There is also a 'replace model reference' button on the ribbon, although I think this is a fairly recent enhancement. (Think it's only in 2025)
I did not remember the new Replace Model Reference tool. I found that using this tool does not delete tweaks that still make sense even though the replacement file is not a direct copy of the original file. If using Inventor 2025 or later, always use the Replace Model Reference tool-- it seems to be more robust than the workflow I recommended above.
