Swapping Drawings in the Drawing Substitutions View
The Drawing Substitutions view is the easiest way to swap drawings. When you select a layer, the Drawing Substitutions view will display every drawing in that layer's element as thumbnails. All you have to do is select the frame where you want to swap drawings, then click on the thumbnail of the drawing you want to expose.
