You can save the config.pro from the file you want duplicate and import it in the part you wish to correct.

In my opinion - you have to use ModelCheck. There is no funcionality that will allow change start_asm in easy way.

If you have to change it for a lot of assemblies and parts you may look at SmartUpdate

The features from the template are copied into the assembly, where they could be modied, reordered or deleted without dependency to the template. So there is no direct way to replace the "start assembly" within existing models.

Only for rule-based layers, you can define template models, which allow existing models to adapt their layers accordingly (config.pro option default_layer_model).

What can be done to adapt features or parameters from template models, is to apply the changes, that make the difference between both models.

As mentioned before in previous posts, ModelCheck or SmartUpdate can help automating this.

You can do this with automation programming languages such as weblink, jlink, toolkit, vba.. I have only used weblink, though a basic knowledge of programming language should be learned. API are much faster than modelcheck and you can tweak anything possible. But it takes time, so it is best to stick to modelcheck for now.. The problem with modelcheck is you have to update each submodels, input the new parameters, etc. I dont think you can update relations with modelcheck, i might wrong..do let me know
