Hi,

I guess you don't use any PDM system. It's easy there.

I face the same problem when trying to rename more parts with their drawings.

The solution isn't nice but exists:

- check if the option rename_drawings_with_object is set to "both"

- open the top assembly and choose the command Save a Copy instead of Rename

- use e.g. Dummy.asm for copy of top assembly

- rename the parts you want. Make sure the option "copy drawings" is ticked.

- click OK, close objects, erase and open windows commander

- delete the original top assembly file and rename the dummy.asm to original name

- delete the dummy.drw if exists and close windows commander

I don't understand why there isn't same option "copy drawings" in rename window as it is in Save a Copy. But it is like it is...

Hope it will work

To my knowledge there is not a way to rename a part and drawing file together at the same time in Creo.  It can be done within Windchill though.

Would be a great product idea though!

t is possible but there a couple requirements.

The file name of the model and the file name of its drawing has to be EXACTLY the same.

This will not work.

123abc.prt

123abca.drw

This will work.

123abc.prt

123abc.drw

There is a config.pro option that should be set.

rename_drawings_with_object

Default value = none

Values = none, both, part, assem

Good to know, thanks for the information!

Well, I just tried it (after I posted) and it didn't seem to work.  I apologize for that.  I might have got it mixed up with Save As.

[kpark-2]

Dang!  I was hoping it would.  Was just about to try it.

I recalled the same config option. It seemed promising, but the effect is only on Save-As, so it should be save_as_with_object, as it isn't for renaming.

Hi Steve,

You have the information correct, but you are right, the action is Save As, not Rename, even though the config option is rename_drawings_with_object.
