Mirrored part referencing out of date part

I recently mirrored a part from a part in an assy. I now have applied
proper part numbers to the original and mirrored parts. The new
mirrored part number is still referencing the old non-numbered
original part. How can I change the reference on the new mirrored part
number to read the new part number of the original non-mirrored part?

Thanks

did you use solidworks explorer to rename?
if reanming an in-context part/assy, you must use solidworks explorer to
maintain the relationships.

 

oops, forgot to answer.
select open
select mirrored part
select "references" radio button
select part you wish to reference

 

I think you have to change the reference from the file/open dialog box to
make it point to a different part.

You might also move the non-numbered part out of that folder. Diego
