Hello,

During assembly renaming I'm wondering is it possible to have :

BOX_A1_1.PRT in to BOX_A1.PRT

just using template box to avoid doing this one by one part.

I have STEP assembly file which I would like to use with new part names.

Im offline PDM and working on Creo 2.

I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but I'm guessing it is:

BOX_A1_1.PRT --> BOX_A1.PRT

PLATE_A1_1.PRT --> PLATE_A1.PRT

...

SOME_NAME_1.PRT --> SOME_NAME.PRT

if that's the case, then you could Use Template: *_1.PRT = *.PRT

Hi Paul,

What I am trying to accomplish is to have file names without underscore line or any other sufix thay may appear when I open STEP file of assembly.

The STEP file which I have is probably (or 100%) saved from Creo assembly in .asm extension.

It starting to be interesting when I try to do this renaming job with assembly which count over 500 parts and of course with several "reuse" items .

So far I didnt know for this "Save copy" solution with "txt" importation from Excel which has been posted by lokesh lokesh.

And of course, I do not need to add any comment about editing in Excel which is one very powerful software tool .
