Renaming a Directory... without losing the links?
(OP)
Is it possible to rename a directory without losing any of the associated links between the 'assembly' and 'part' files?

RE: Renaming a Directory... without losing the links?
If the files are spread around in multiple directories and what you desire is to rename one of those directories, then that is a problem.
A way to make this change is to use SolidWorks Explorer to copy all of the files in the directory to a new directory with the correct name. While in SolidWorks Explorer, make sure to "find where used" for the files. Unfortunately this method will need to be done one file at a time.
I would probably just change the name of the directory and then browse to find it when I open an assembly that uses the parts in the offending directory.
