Renaming Parts in SW 2004?
(OP)
How do you Rename parts in SW 2004? I went to Solidworks Explorer - File Open - Edit Configurations - Right click on part and Rename. I'm getting the following error:
"The file O-RING cannot be used as a replacement because it would create a circular reference".
Thanks!

I'm not even sure what the error means.

What is the name of the part you are trying to rename?
If you are just trying to change from lower to upper case letters you will get that "error" message.
The workaround for that would be to rename it to something different ... say from "o-ring" to "ring" ... then rename it again to "O-RING"
