re-associate dtf file to parent par file?
(OP)
If a change name is required of the parent par file to the child dtf, is there a way to re-associate the drawing to the model?

Don't forget that if the part is used in an assembly you will have to change the link there also. Either with Revision Manager or using the Replace command in the assembly.
The best way is to get to know Revision Manager, then you can rename,copy and replace files and still maintain all the links.

At the same time all files were renamed to have the new project number in the filename.
It's a real 'sweaty palm' time when you finally hit the button to start the process !!
After that it's Property Manager to change all the file properties to change part numbers etc.

In a dft file this morning, I wanted to replace a .psm file for an .asm file (because the part changed and is now made of 2 separate sheetmetal parts), but it didn't even allow me to select a file type different from the original one.
I was able to replace it in the asm environment though.
