You can fool the system if the replaced part is part for part or assembly for assembly and only if the names are the same (working in a temp folder).

Replacing the model from a part to an assembly will require creation of new views.

I hear you.  I've been caught behind that 8-ball a few times doing sheetmetal chassis that used pierce and extrude features.  Then a "simple change"... "please use captive hardware".  Same story; part became an assembly.  Drawings were fully detailed.

Simplicity says to just add the new model and make a duplicate view next to your current view.  Copy and re-associate what you can.  If you are lucky, you can move the associative dimensions form one view to another (not holding breath for that one).

Older systems use to use a "viewport" type analogy where the whatever part exists shows in the viewport.  Somehow that changed to model dependent viewports.

There may still be better methods out there and I am all ears to hear them.

Look to Creo 4 for an enhancement in this area.  For now, this particular one you'll need to re-detail, sorry.  Also note that 'fooling' the system into unrelated model replacements is a very bad technique that can result in crashes, corruptions, and unpredictable behavior, it is highly not-recommended.

Fooling the system is a hail Mary when you miss a step in a complex process or the system fails you.

Normally, it is the same part with maybe a simple revision change that requires this method.

For completely unrelated models, definitely not recommended to fool the system.

Glad to see PTC has finally seen this as an issue.

Yes, I'd been mentioning it for many years, but there's always a lot of project proposals to fit into never-enough development time.  But when this comes up in the future when you're on Creo 4, you should find your job considerably easier.
