Description
Std LinkReplace replaces an object that is inside another for an App Link version of the former.
This operation acts on the "children" of a "parent" object as seen in the tree view. For example, given two objects (A and B) that participate in a Part boolean operation, say, C = A + B
, the A object can be replaced by a Link, so that C = A_link + B
.
This operation can be done to replace nested objects that are in a complex assembly for a Link, which may be more efficient if that nested object is used many times in different sub-assemblies. The inverse operation is Std LinkUnlink. To create a generic Link see Std LinkMake.
Usage
- Make sure you have one object that is inside another one. For example, consider that a Part Fusion was used with two previously created objects, a Part Sphere and a Part Cylinder.
- Select the Sphere in the tree view.
- Press Std LinkReplace.
The original Sphere must now be outside the Part Fusion, and inside there must be a Link instead (a small overlay arrow is shown in the icon).

|-- Sphere001 (Link)
|-- Cylinder
This can also be done with objects contained inside Std Parts and Std Groups.
Cone

|-- Cone001 (Link)
