Import class to override existing class attributes?

I am updating the attributes of a few classes within my office master class set-up and would like to update existing files. Is there anyway to import a class with the same name as an existing class and have the imported class update/override the existing class attribute? (VW Architect 2010)

Yes - create a new class as usual but instead of naming a new class, click the import button instead and the browse to the file you want to import from.

Uncheck the box to only show classes in not in the current document. Highlight the classes you want to import and click OK. The attributes of the incoming classes will override classes already setup in your file.

If you uncheck that box, you will see all classes from the import file listed. If you choose to import any classes that have the same name as classes in your current file, the attributes of the imported classes will override those in the current file and change any objects which are members of that class. You will be prompted to confirm that you wish to do this.
