Replace a Detail Cell

To replace a detail Cell you have to open the corresponding 2D-workshop drawing (with the inserted detail Cells) as well as the original 3D-model drawing.

Now select Parts view: > Right-click > Replace 2D detail Cell menu. Then pick any element of the detail Cell you want to replace and the dialog opens.

Now you can modify the current detail style or select another style from the list. Afterwards, you click the (Update) button, and the detail Cell will be automatically replaced.

Further detail Cells to be replaced can be selected directly from the dialog. Since the last selected Cell remains connected, you can assign another style to it if the result didn’t meet your requirements.

Note: When modifying detail style parameters please don’t forget that you change the detail style from the model. Replacing takes place as follows: The selected Cell is detailed anew (this is why the model drawing has to be opened) and then it replaces the former Cell in the drawing.

Note: If you assign a new style as well, this modification will be transferred into the model and the component part will be permanently linked again with the desired style. Therefore, don’t forget to save the model drawing afterwards.
