Reload a dxf component
-
Hi,
Is it possible to reload a component created from a dxf file?
I am using SU Pro 8.
When I right-click on a component imported from dxf file, and select the "reload" option, a file dialog box opens; and, if I select the updated dxf file, a new component is crated. (I expected it to replace the previous component).
Probably the reload option only works with skp components. Am I right?
Thanks,

I don't know off the top of my head, but I suspect that you are right. Take a look at thomthom's component replacer plugin if you have to replace many instances, or just copy the new geometry into an existing component. Both less than ideal solutions, I know, but workable.

Look at my

It's old, it's clunky, it's long overdue an update...
But it works.
You can insert a DXF as an Xref and then update it later... -
