Part-Draft Linkage

Part-Draft Linkage

Part-Draft Linkage

(OP)
HI

Yesterday I changed some parts' name (file name) which has linked draft. After I did that,  part-draft linkage broke. That was a heartbreaking moment. Do I have to draw all over again If I want to change my file name? Or Is there any good way to control that happening.

RE: Part-Draft Linkage

You could use Revision Manager to update SE document.

You don't have to redraw it, please check this thread:

You could also search Revision Manager in this forum. There are other threads you may find interesting.

Hope this helps.

RE: Part-Draft Linkage

In the draft, click 'edit' > 'links' then you can update the source for the draft file, update the views, and you 'should' be back to where you were before!

RE: Part-Draft Linkage

You should ALWAYS use Revision Manager when renaming files linked to a draft, it will save you from a lot of future heartaches.

If you open the draft in Rev.Man. you get a list of all files linked to it and their path
