NX Component to replace is not a version of replacement part.

While trying to replace a part, the alert message appears, "component to replace is not a version of replacement part."

Solution

Replacing a component with a part that is not a revision of the part to replace will not maintain existing references (for example: constraints) to the component after replacement. The alert is shown to let the user know that the replacement part is not related to the component to replace. The behavior of replace component is working as designed.
