Use Table Replace to switch to a different iAssembly member

Table Replace is available when an iAssembly component is a member of another iPart or iAssembly factory. When editing the table, you can replace the member in the row with another member of the same factory.

  1. Open an iAssembly factory file. In the browser, right-click the table and select Edit Table.
  2. To add an iPart or iAssembly as a member:
    • On the Components tab, select the appropriate iPart or iAssembly and click the Add arrow. A Table Replace column is added to the table automatically.
    • Edit the values in the Table Replace column as needed. Click a cell and select a member from the referenced factory.
    • Right-click the appropriate row and select Set As Default Row. The member specified in the active row is used when the member is placed in an assembly.
  3. To switch to a different member:
    • Click the Table Replace cell the appropriate row and click the arrow to select a different member.
    • If appropriate, right-click the row and select Set As Default Row.
Note: If you swap iAssembly members by specifying a different member in a Table Replace column, all relationships remain intact. When using Table Replace with iParts, an iMate does not reconnect.
