  •  Parts
  •  CAD Documents
  •  Documents

The command is accessible from the "More" menu .

Please note that the name of this command adapts according to the object from which this command is accessed from. Below shows the "Replace CAD" functionality, available from the CAD Document profile card:

This action opens a popup window from which you will be able to search for the object that replaces the "original" one:

 As a result:
