Hello PTC Community,

I'm helping out a fellow user.

What's the nest way to rename a part? A step-by-step instruction would be ideal. Screenshots are even better.

This user is running Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.

Thank you,

Dan

I am using WF5/Creo.

** If the drawing/model have the same name and you need to rename both.

1. Typically you have to have all of the assemblies that have that part as a component open.

2. You have to have the drawing that the part is in open.

3. Go to the part: File Rename - to rename the part.

4. Go to the drawing: File Rename - to rename the drawing .

5. Then same the part, drawing and assemblies to save the change.

6. If you don't have these open, they will loose there connectivity.

**If the drawing and model do not have the same name and you need to rename the drawing

If your part name and drawing name are not congruent (the same) and you just need to rename the drawing:

1. Open the drawing - File Rename.

2. Same the drawing

I hope this helps. Sorry no screen shots.

Does he need to keep the original?

Is the part in an assembly or several assemblies?
