Replace by layout with children help

I would like to replace a component in a large assembly, and not have to redefine all of the children of that component. The new part is very similar to the old part, so when I use replace by layout ProE is able to place the component, but then I have to manually replace each of the children of that component. Is there a way to automatically place the children to the new component?

Thanks
 
you can create an interchange assembly, use the auto tag function. this will replace the component and all children will remain intact. when done replacing component you will want to remove the components from the interchange and the interchange references from the two components being swapped.
