You should use the same import settings for the updated CAD file as used when importing the original CAD file.

This is because their IDs do not exist in the updated assembly and will be treated as old parts to be deleted. Redesign concepts

Actors that you merge into an assembly using the Merge into the current document option on the Open dialog box are removed during the update process.

The update function will try to recreate the original CAD structure. They cannot be dragged to a different sub-assembly or inserted into a new assembly group.

The actors cannot be rearranged in the Assembly tab.

The names of the original CAD files cannot be changed.

One of the handiest features of SOLIDWORKS Composer is the way it separates the files you’re working on from the CAD file you originally imported, allowing engineers to continue working on the CAD file while we build up our Composer document. Have you ever been working away on a project, only to be told the CAD file you’ve been using is out of date? Going back to square 1 and starting again is probably the last thing you want to consider in this situation.
