&lt;td&gt;Replace Cell&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Problem&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How do I update/replace a shared cell definition if I have the original cell library?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Solution&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;Locate the&amp;nbsp;shared cell whose cell definition needs to be&amp;nbsp;updated. If the shared cell is a terminator&amp;nbsp;of a dimension or note, then you must place the cell independent of&amp;nbsp;either: as a loose cell within the file as a shared cell. &lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;To do this, you simply have to go to the Cell Library&amp;nbsp;dialog, click on the &amp;#39;Use Shared Cells&amp;#39; option,&amp;nbsp;find the&amp;nbsp;shared&amp;nbsp;cell you want to update, and&amp;nbsp;press &amp;#39;Placement&amp;#39;. Clicking within the file will place the cell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-35/CellLibraryDialog3.png"&gt;&lt;img style="height:718px;width:606px;" alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/692x777/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-35/CellLibraryDialog3.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;2. Attach the cell library to the drawing. In the Cell Library dialog box, go to File&amp;gt;Attach File. In the File Open dialog that opens, find the cell library which contains the cell whose cell definition needs to be updated. Click Open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;3. Select the Replace Cells command. You can either go to Tools&amp;gt;Cells&amp;gt;Replace Cells or you can key-in REPLACE CELLS EXTENDED. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;4. Set Method to &amp;#39;Update&amp;#39;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;5. Set Mode to &amp;#39;Global&amp;#39;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-35/ReplaceCells.png"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-35/ReplaceCells.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;6. Select the cell which was placed in step 1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;7. Left mouse click again to accept the change and finish updating the cell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
