The interesting thing about the new Search tool in WF is that once you
find
the stuff you're looking for, highlight it and move it into the right hand
window, it stays highlighted when you exit the Search tool. Then you can
RMB
the highlighted items and get an interactive menu. One of the items ought
to
be Reroute for components. With a second component assembled over the
first
(with the Insert bar moved up right after the first compoent), you can
pick
one of its surfaces to replace the reference to the first components, for
all the highlighted components. It is often just that single reference
that
will be lost with the Replace and cause all those components to 'Freeze'.
When the references have been replaced, you can just delete the first
component.
