CSWP, Segment 3: Replace Component

SOLIDWORKS also makes it very easy to replace one component with another.  Let's work with the assembly we have used in the last couple of posts Here.  Also download the Updated Cross Member found Here.

We are going to right click on the Cross Member and select Replace Components.  You may need to click on the double down arrow if it is not immediately one of your choices.

Cross Member is added to the Replace these components window.  Next we click Browse and browse to the Updated Cross Member file and select it.  One thing we want to select is the Re-attach mates box.  This will compare identical features and re-create your mates for you.

Hit the check mark and you are done.

I hope this helps you out.  Let me know in the comments if you have any questions.

Bryan
