    Default Update drawings in Project Navigator

    Description:

    As a second tier user of Project Navigator (PN) I would like to be able to replace an existing construct with a new updated version. Currently, you have an option when you open a drawing to "Save current drawing as Construct". I would like a second option "Replace existing Construct with current drawing"

    How Used:
    When receiving an updated background drawing (for example an updated architectural drawing) the user could replace the existing construct with the new one and not lose any pathing or have to re path any drawings that currently use the outdated background.

    Feature Affinity:

    Some see the glass as half full, others as half empty. As an engineer I see the glass as twice as big as it needs to be. ~Unknown~

    That is how I expected it to work when Project Navigator first appeard.

    Much too sensible, think of all the time it would save.

    Yes, that would be handy. In the mean time, you could just copy the new drawing into the current construct.
