Replace Command

 Using the Replace command you can substitute an object in your scene with another object by the same name that is saved in another scene. The substitute object takes on the properties and animation data of the object it replaces. This allows you to animate your scene faster using simple objects and then substitute complex objects later when you have developed them.

To Replace objects in a scene:-

Open a scene file 

Choose File - Replace

In the Replace dialog box open the scene that has the object you want to substitute into your file.If the file you want to open does not have an object with the same name as an object in your current scene, you will not be able to access the file.

Select the object you want to replace

The Replace materials dialog box appears

Click yes to replace materials along with the objects or No to bring in objects only.

The replacement objects appear in the scene.
