Replace parts in an assembly

shai_perednik

I mated 44 brackets to my main assembly only to realize I need to use that bracket but in a sub assembly as that bracket has multiple screws and nuts.  

Is there a way I can replace all 44 instances with a different part or a sub assembly?

Or do I just delete all 44 and start over?

Thank you!

@ shai_perednik , At present you can't replace a part with other part or sub-assembly.But you can move required parts from main assembly to new sub-assembly.

I think in your case you can't use this method since you want to use 44 same sub-assemblies.You can raise an improvement request

You can use replicate to quickly add all those screws.. and you could also move one bracket into subassy (RMB on part - move to new sub..) add screws and use replicate to add the rest of brackets with screws. Try it, it's very powerfull and intuitive feature.
