Search and replace one part

Use Block Replace to quickly replace a part with another. The replacement part will inherit and display any visibility settings of the original symbol.

1. Click the Block Replace icon in the Cap Edit toolbar.
   
   
   
   

2. Under Replace Type, select Part.
   
   

3. Under Objects, choose to search among Select(ed) Objects or All Objects.  Select Objects takes you back to the drawing temporarily.
   
   

4. Under Filter by, start typing the Part Number and the QuickSearch feature will display a list of possible matches, up to a maximum of 50.  This list will contract as you type more characters.
   Note: If you want QuickSearch to look only in a certain catalog, type in the Catalog code first before you type the Part Number.
   OR, click the Search Catalog icon  to browse the installed catalogs.
   OR, click Select Object to select the object on the drawing.
   
   

5. Under Replace With use the options explained in Step 4 to choose the replacement part.
   
   

6. Check Copy Assigned Tag Values if the part has an appended tag.
   
   

7. Click Replace.

Note:  If you disabled QuickSearch through Preferences, you will not see a list of matches as you type in the Part Number.
