    Is there any way to change the instance id for a part in an assembly?
    I had to delete and reinsert a few parts and it screwed up one of my
    design tables. I'd like to not have to redo all my design tables with
    the new ID.

    If I remember correctly, you can close and re-open SW, and then the next
    inserted instance will take the next open instance number. So, if you
    deleted <6> and inserted a new <7>, delete <7>, close SW, re-open the
    assembly and insert a new <6>. You may not need to delete <7> to get a new
    <6> after the restart.

    I know of no other way.
