Steps to refresh updated subassemblies in existing corridor files

Last updated: 2020-06-16

Sometimes a WisDOT subassembly will be updated with new functionality.

To access the new functionality, users have to replace the old subassemblies with the new ones.

Warning: If you do not need the new functionality, there is no need to replace the subassemblies.

1. If you want to change the default input parameters
   1. Find the new subassembly in the appropriate WisDOT subassembly tool palette.
   2. Right click > Properties... > Parameters to set the default input parameters.
   3. OK
2. To replace the old subassembly with the new subassembly

   1. Tip: Before you start, document the subassembly names used in the assemblies and target parameters used in the corridor(s).

   2. Find the new subassembly in the appropriate WisDOT subassembly tool palette.
   3. Click the new subassembly > R enter for the replace option > click the subassembly to replace in the existing assembly

   4. Keep similar targets to retain targets for identical target parameters.

      

   5. New subassemblies will have default naming. Rename subassemblies to custom names.
   6. Repeat for all instances of the subassembly.
   7. Rebuild corridor(s).

   8. Tip: Verify target parameters were translated completely and accurately.
