Windchill rename issue

How to  do mass renaming in windchill ?

[hthakre]

• Multiple unrelated CAD Documents cannot be renamed at one shot because there may be several dependencies which cannot be handled at one time.

• Multiple CAD Documents can be renamed if they belong to an Assembly:

In "Commonspace":

1. Click "Product" or "Library" > Folder
2. Select a top level CAD Document (i.e. top level assembly or drawing)
3. Select Actions > Rename
4. Include dependents

In "Workspace" (works for new objects only):

1. Select a "Workspace"
2. Select objects
3. File > Rename

Yes - you can support rename from Search as well.  you can search for multiple part numbers with a ; separator
