1.Select all objects in the plan that you would like to replace.

2.Switch to the Edit tab and click Replace.

3.Right click to open the Context Menu. Select Create Reference Copies.

4.Click on the object in the plan that should function as the replacement for the selected objects.

This means that all the instances of an article that are not grouped together with other objects will be replaced. All identical articles located within groups remain unchanged.
