Case sensitive file names
Case sensitive file names
(OP)
The norm in our company is to use the file name in th BOM. When I created a part, I accidentally used lower case letters instead of upper case. Now, I am having a nightmare of a time correcting it.
I've tried renaming it in Windows Explorer, SolidWorks Explorer. I've tried save as. I've tried save as copy and the replaced it.
I've tried deleting the part and reinserting it with all of the above options, but to no avail.
Any suggestions? I'm stumped. Silly issue, but appearance is everything.

e.g. Change the name to sampleSAMPLE.sldprt, and then remove the lower case letters.
You should be able to do this in Windows Explorer without upsetting any references.

Strange!

Use SW Explorer to rename using the intermediate step method I suggested in my first post. It's a PITA to have to do it twice ... but it works.

I do as CBL suggested in his THIRD post.
