Drawing paths
(OP)
I have a problem.
I have model named Model1 and the drawings (15 drawings) made based of this model.
I want to make the same model with the different name.
1)I open the model and "Save as" then I select all and put prefiks _d
Now I have the same model but with the different name of model (Model1_d) and parts (Part_d)
but what about the DRAWINGS
Is there a way to easy make the drawings based on the new model Model1_d ?????

Basically..
1) Rename models with your drawings in session. This causes the drawings to look for the renamed model.
2)Save the drawings under the new name you want.
You then get out of pro. So the new drawings look to the renamed parts, because you had them in session when the rename was done. You still have your old drawings (because you created a copy) that point to the original files (because you just did a rename in session and left all the files on the disk with the old name)
Alternatively you could have backed up the drawings and done it in a dummy directory, then reback them up to your original directory. This way you dont have to worry about overwriting your originals.

To try it out create a new model and a related drawing. The both must be the same name. I.E. 1.prt, 1.drw. Put the options I noted in your config.pro. Retrieve drawing 1.drw and do File, Save A Copy. Name the new drawing 2.drw. After this look in the directory. You will see 2.drw and 2.prt which are identical copies of the first and parametrically tied together.
Hope this long winded answer helps.
