      Is there a reload/swap function available when setting up(in) dynamic components?

      The reason i ask is....
      I have a cabinet with drawers inside.
      I want to select from a list the type of drawer to be inside that cabinet, then have it input that drawer after selection.
      or have the programe load the correct drawer automatically depending on the cabinet size

      I realize that i could set it up dynmically to automatically scale the drawer size to the cabinet or i could draw all the drawer types in and just have it dynamically hide the ones i don't want.

      The problem with scaleing is that i use a cutlist plugin to spit out a hardware list and if i just have it set up for the part to scale - the name (model#) of the drawer (component) will not be correct.
      If i just have all the drawers hidden except for the one i want then the drawing is to large and the computer slows down.

      What would be the best way to approach this?

      The solution for this particular problem would also be of great help in alot of other area's.
      I could reload/change door styles, hinge types, leglevelors as needed and the part#'s would be accurate

      thanks

        If you right click (or Context click) on the component then there is an option called 'Reload' and then you can select the require model to replace with.
