Replace a single module

[Anonymous]

In a project I have placed (read hotlinked) several modules.

In this case I have an apartment building with several types of apartments.
Type A, Type B e.g.
The modules have the same dimensions, but a different layout.

On a floor I have 5 type A's.
How can I replace one of the type A's with an other module?
If I relink the module through the hotlink manager all type A's will be replace by another Type.
I know I can delete the module and then place an new one, but sometimes you want to replace for example 20 out of 100 of the same modules.
Is it possible to only select the 20 wanted modules and then replace them?

I saved as a new module then placed it in the pln file. File>External Content>Save Selection As Module. Placed that new module then selected it but the greyed out 'Choose Hotlink' button still persists. I checked the Info for the Desktop MOD file, but there are no sharing or permission restrictions. I do like your troubleshooting direction taken.

And it's not a teamwork file right?

Correct, just a plain old Solo Project.

This hotlink instance re-linking is an AC18 feature, you'd mentioned you were running this project in AC17.

From the AC18 new features guide:

Whew - I was running out of ideas!

Viola! Thank you James and Link for the help.

Why did the Change Hotlink button appear in earlier versions of AC if it is non-functional?
