Trading Masters

[CHARLESPDANA]

I have a new master that I'd like to use to replace an existing master.
For example; The first master has the ability to show a wind turbine being built as it's liked to our excel logs.
The new master has all of the old behaviors but also shows the parts delivery process.
How do I replace master 1 with master 2?

Thanks.

Assuming you have a drawing that already uses the old shape, you, unfortunately, you have to go into the document stencil and re enter all the changes in that instance of the shape to make it the new shape.

Going forward (new drawings), just need to use the new shape.

Is that so?
I thought having understood, that from V2010 0r 13, there's a shape replacement feature? (right click, button replace, etc.)

Yes, it appears to be so... "Replace shape" feature is kind of useless (in this case), since it replaces, first, shapes (not masters), and, second, you have to do it manually.

Bit of VBA to go round your diagram, drop a new master on, copy the data and then delete the old shape.
