When saving a copy of Creo models it would be good if there was an option to rename family table instances at the same time. Presently complex workarounds are required when saving a copy of assemblies that contain parts and sub-assemblies with family tables. In the case of assemblies, any lower level family tables are removed in the new files when saving a copy. In the case of saving a copy of parts (like sheetmetal parts) the family table is preserved, however there is no opportunity to rename the instances. In the case of drawings which are automatically copied either the model it refers to will not exist or the drawing will refer to the original model name.
So this idea really consists of two parts:
- Avoid stripping of sub-assembly or part family tables
- Allow user the option to change the name of the family table members in the Save a Copy dialog box.
