Using NX Part Families

$

Hello,

 

As a previous SolidWorks user, I'm trying to replicate the SolidWorks Configurations tool in NX. I have managed to use Part families to change the length of an extrusion in steps of 10mm from 1000mm to 1880mm; this has created multiple part files with different lengths (which I believe is how it should work in NX).

 

I am having difficulty swapping out the component with a different length; I can use 'replace component' when right-clicking upon the part in the assembly navigator, but this process doesnt seem any different for a part that has Part Families activated or not, so I think I am missing something.

 

In the screenshot below, I have included a part with Part Families turned on (as is shown) and one without. Could someone advise if/how it is possible to easily swap the 30x30x1870 component with (for example) a 30x30x1800 component?

Many thanks,
