You can reuse components. In Intralink 3.3, I highlight the .drw file, and select 'Duplicate Objects'. I give new names only to the components I want changed, and ignore the others. Those components are reused.

If not usingintralink theres a config option "rename_drawings_with_object"


Set to yes and the drw will be copied as well (if in memory)


I preffer to do it the way James described though.

There are two easy ways to do it.


First is to copy through windows explorer all files needed from one directory to another.


The other is to "backup".


Both of these methods result in all files retaining the same name, which can then be subsequently changed in ProE.

The technique I find to be even easier is to open the files then "rename in session". Rename everything that has too change before you save anything. Then save the renamed objects and you have copies in one fell swoop.

One remark though : AFAIK drawings are only renamed if both the model and the drawing carry the same name.
