(OP)
Guys,
I have an assembly open and I open a part of the assembly. I do a saveas for the part and use a different name. I expect the new name would be reflected in the feature manager of the assembly but it is not. It keeps the old name. There must be something in the options that is not set right. Anyone has any ideea?

2.) make sure you do not have "Save as Copy" checked in your "Save As" dialog.

It is the same file. I can change the component name manually.
2. I do not have Save as Copy checked

RE: Guys, I have an assembly open an
The option in Tools\Options\System Options\External References\ is "Update Component Names when documents are replaced". Checking and unchecking that option doesn't make any difference.
automationbabe,
I think you are right, I noticed this started after I installed SP5.0. I agree with you, it's a bug and extremely annoying.
Scott,
try it in SW2003 SP5.0 and see if does the same for you.
RE: Guys, I have an assembly open an
What you can do is this:
1) Open SW explorer and open the assembly in there.
2) Click on Edit\Rename document
3) Then click on the part you want to rename
4) Click Find now
5) Under To: put in the new name you want to use test.sldprt
6) Then click apply.
7) You will notice the assembly turns blue and the name update in the FM of SW explorer.
8) close file
9) Open SW and make sure that the option I told you to check above is turned on. Tools\Options\System Options\External References\ "Update Component Names when documents are changed"
10) Open the file and you should see the change
You should report this to your VAR as a bug, but I don't think you will get a fix for it since it does work in SW04 and I think SP5 is the last SP for SW03.
I hope that helps,
