In my project, 1st copy all .asm and .prt from folder ABC to DEF folder and rename all assembly and part to abc to def.but not possible to rename and relink automatically with new path for .dft file.
Is it any way for it?

Mimnesh,

RE: revision manager and change/relink name of draft file .dft file

You have to do this all together. It is not possible to copy the parts and assemblies first, then copy the drafts and automatically fix links as you had already broken them at that point.
  1. Open you top level assembly
  2. Expand the tree
  3. Select everything you wish to copy
  4. Set Action to Copy and Set Path and/or change file name
  5. While still selected, start the Where Used command
  6. Change options to just Drafts (you could also find where used parts and assemblies, PCF's, Etc... but for this excersize, select just Drafts)
  7. Run
  8. Where used results show in the bottom pane
  9. Select all Drafts you wish to copy
  10. Set their Action to Copy and Set Path and/or change file name
  11. Perform Actions

Cheers PellaKen, I just didn't feel like writing the full process if the OP couldn't be bothered to search on here for one of the many posts explaining it (such as below).
