Hello!
Say you have an assembly with 40-50-1000 screws in it.
Your boss comes by and says, "change all those screws from 1/4" length to 3/8" length".
So you think, alright, all I have to do is use 'replace component, all' command.
Bang, all your time consuming constraints you placed are gone. Your assembly now swims in non-constrained space with every drag. Not good.
So then comes 'design docter', that little red cross at the top. But the problem being, I must select on each one, every time, and work through them one by one, deleting everything because I cant modify them in the view given.
As you all know, this is extremely time consuming.
What are my alternatives, if any?
FYI- I am also awaiting what autodesk subscription center says in '4 hours' lol. I will let you all know what they thought too.
