I completed a drawing of a part and then later on added a family table to the part. Now I want to change some existing views to show a different instance of the part. Is this possible? I have not found a way to do it. I have added the models to the drawing.

As far as I remember, I think you can change all the views to reference a different family table member. I don't think you can change only selected views.

My work around would be to save-as the drawing to a temporary name, change that drawing to the desired family table reference using Layout - drawing models - replace. Then use layout, insert (drop down arrow) import drawing/data and add the new drawing to the old one, delete the views I don't want, switch sheet on the ones I do want and delete the extra sheet(s).

Not a horrible work-around, saves a ton of time.

Maybe someone else has a better work-around.
