Replace component in assembly
Is there a command where you can replace a component in an assembly? I have a stock cylinder of some length mated into my design, and I just want to replace it with a different stock cylinder. In SW, the "replace component" command replaces the component and updates all the mates automatically.

Re: Improvements to Onshape - February 12th, 2021
We are working towards where used for Pro users. It's no small task to capture all these documents back to the beginning of time in performant and scalable manners that consider future capabilities to capture again, while also capturing all forward going use cases as we roll forward in time. We know this is important and will get it right for our very important Pro customers.
Re: Add a section view to a drawing with a break view
We are working to enable breaking a section view. Keep an eye out soon. This will not be delivered with an alignment behavior as mentioned. View alignment needs to be improved to be able to support alignment by their centers and then we can support proper cases for break views. Beyond that there will be a need to deliver on parent/child break view scenarios where a break is effective across parent and child views and the break lines between them are associative. All known things that we intend to deliver on.

Re: The voting system is non anonymous and biased
I doubt the moderator removed the down vote, I assume the person who voted felt guilty after realizing it was taken personally.
I too don't care for the down vote system.. it is black stain on your profile that most of the time is undeserving. I've been down voted many times because I answered the question with something like "No, Onshape does not support that function yet, Please submit an improvement request".. as if it is MY fault Onshape doesn't have a feature lol... Ah well...
Better etiquette in my humble opinion is to follow up a down vote with a short message as to why. "I down voted you because you were rude"
I gladly accept those down votes and don't question them if I can read my post again and can see for myself why I get down voted even without a follow up. I will edit and apologize if I am wrong or offend someone.
I don't care who says up/down.. just want to be known as the good/helpful guy on the profile page. Not the.. oh this guy is a complete a-hole he has 8 down votes... Even though if you read through them that generally isn't the case.
Don't get me wrong, I was an a-hole on a few posts and truly deserve some of the down votes. But to everyone out there: Your votes are your own opinion. Vote however you feel justified. Just know the general feeling of a down vote here is like saying "This was totally off topic, or disrespectful"
