Hi

I am using Creo 2.0 . I have created a mapkey, that saves the current file and deletes the old versions of the file. This is done by File>save, File>Manage File >Delete Old Versions.

Say the name of the file is "car.asm". When using the mapkey the new file will be named "car.asm.2".

Is there a way to get rid of the suffix number in the end of the filename?

Hello Frederik Hansen

there is no simply way to remove "file version".

Personaly don´t use Creo function like you have described.

Instead of this l´m using Spurge utility. See folowing topic Re: Spekan Purge Tool

There is possibility to rename last version to no:1.

But the number of version will be always included in file name.

It´s possible to hide file extensions somwhere in Windows (it´s Windows settings --- NOT CREO settings)

Hope it can helps

Thanks for the help, do you know with if there is way to rename last version to no. 1, without using the Spekan purge tool?

Why does rename action had to be called from within Pro/E session? For all practical reasons the file index is hidden from an end user by Pro/E's 'File Open' dialog GUI. On the other hand, the renaming of a file from the OS is a trivial matter...
