Renaming all files
Renaming all files
(OP)
Is there an easy way to rename a whole assembly including all parts? We add the customer name as a suffix to each part. When a new machine is needed, we copy the most recent assembly and want to replace the old customer name with the new customer name. By using Solidworks Explorer I know we can add a suffix or prefix but that just keeps adding another name to the end of the file. Thanks for the help.

But I just want to let you know, the way you are handling your SolidWorks documents is not most efficient. A better way is to create your documents based on objects (parts or assemblies). Parts or assemblies have nothing to do with customers. Association between your parts/assemblies is established through sales orders.

Have your PDM Administrator look into “PDMWorks 2005 VaultAdmin” Projects, in Project commands, Copy Project. This will copy everything in a folder to another folder with something added at the end of the name or if you want in front of the name. You do not have to except “Copy of”.
Good luck.
