The INTIAL idea in this POST (link above) really is an issue for lots of production work IMO.

It takes me a long time to place and re-arrange all the objects on the Bed manually.

If I need to remodel (very slightly) one of these objects and replace it (or say 2 or 3 out of 8 objects) then it's a real ball-ache to reposition .. eventually the whole set screws up, even if it is due to Human error on my part #tiredsometimes.

Can there not be a way to replace objects, or reload them from the .s3d folder/file format/zip?

Adobe Illustrator does this very well with 'linking'.
It asks you if you want to update modified files when you open the file ... #excellent

+1 for this: Would make updating with new revisions way easier.

Is this near the TOP of the list ? √√

Definitely a useful feature.

+1 for this. Especially when using custom supports, this would be a HUGE time saver for small adjustments.

@Yona - if it is just the supports that you are worried about, you can always export the support structures using the custom support dialog. Then re-import the new model and import the support structures back in. That way you don't have to redo any manual changes you made to the support structures.
