Replacing components

If an assembly contains subassemblies or parts that do not reside in the vault, you can easily replace them with their vault equivalents. This can be useful to be sure the assembly uses the latest standard parts. The Autodesk Inventor link provides a command named Get BlueCielo Replacement on the shortcut menu in the Autodesk Inventor Model pane. The command is enabled when the selected component does not reside in the vault but a component with the same name does reside in the vault. You can use this command to swap the components in one step.

To replace a component with one from the vault:

1. In the Model pane of Autodesk Inventor, right-click the component that you want to replace. the Autodesk Inventor link shortcut menu appears.
2. Select Get BlueCielo Replacement. The selected component is replaced with the vault equivalent, using the same insertion point.
