Summary


Details

In the Solid Edge ST9 Revision Manager it was possible to replace one Solid Edge file type with another in a Draft e.g. replace a Part with an Assembly.  In Solid Edge 2020 it appears that the Part file can only be replaced with the same file type. 



Solution

This is correct if the Replace functionality on Design Manager home tab is executed via a right mouse click pulldown menu on a file - then only the same file type is available for the replace. 

If another file type is required to replace the existing file linked to the Draft then you need to use the 'Design Manager Assistant' which is available in the 'Tools' tab and will guide you through the necessary steps.
