RENAME FILES

[LONMN]

I have an issue with Pro/E that was not covered in class and I can find no documentation on PTS's web site.


here is the question.


I have a working dir. F74851


in this directory is a


drawing


assembly


parts





I want to save the


drawing


assembly


parts


to a new dir. with a new F number so i can design a similar unit


how do I do this????

Pull up the drawing change to the new directory and do a backup. This will create a copy of all the models associated with the drawing with the same names. You can then rename the as needed. Or instead of doing a backup do a save as. This will open a dialog box where you can change the names as needed.

We do this all the time. It does save a lot of time. First you must set the config option Rename_Drawings_with_object to BOTH. Second, rename the drawing file to be identical to the assembly. (Example mypart.asm and mypat.drw). Third, open up the assembly. Fourth, change working directory to where you want the new files to go, and do a Save_a_copy. Enter the new assembly name, and pick OK. You will then be prompted to change any or all of the components in the assembly. When you are done renaming, select OK. You will now have a new drawing that is dependant on the new assembly and models.
