SolidWorks & PDM Works renaming of parts
SolidWorks & PDM Works renaming of parts
(OP)
My company has just purchased SW2001+ and PDMWorks. We have run ProE and Ideas previously, both using data manangement.
I was told by the VAR's AE that in order to rename a part that is used in multiple assemblies, I would have to go into each assembly and rename/replace the part. I know this isn't the case for Intralink and I-deas TDM. Does anyone know of an easier way? Either built in or with some VBA scritping?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You could also try using SolidWorks Explorer.

You can cover lots of ground quickly if you open an assembly containing a bunch of the files you want to rename. Then you can just go down the tree, right-clicking parts and renaming. Since your search rules are set you just have to click 'Find now' & 'Apply' for each.
