Replace external components

Learn how to replace an external component in an assembly with a different external design in Fusion.

1. In the Browser, locate the external component you want to replace.

2. Right-click the component to display the context menu.

3. Select Replace Component.

   The Replace Component dialog displays.

4. In the dialog, navigate to a different external design and select it.

5. Optional: Check Replace All Instances if you want to replace all identical instances of the selected component in the assembly.

6. Click Replace.

The external component is replaced with the new external design in the assembly.

Tips

• If the replaced component is a direct copy of the original, Fusion will reconnect the assembly relationships, like joints and assembly contexts, from the original component.
• In Parametric Modeling mode, if you select a component that is an instance in a pattern, all instances in the pattern will be replaced.
