I must declare my ignorance.

I have just discovered the replace model tool in drawings.

How long has this been there?

It is perfect.

For those of you out there wondering.

open a drawing.
click on a view
right click and you will see the replace model tool appear. (in 2014 and later versions)

This will make moving from proto parts like (bracket-1 in base assm) to our mrp system part numbers xxxx-xxx easy peasy.
