Batch renaming Inventor newVer files possible?

[Anonymous]

Hi

I've discovered a crash from Design Assistant when hitting save leaving
hundreds of files with the *.newVer.* extension.
It looks as if I rename the files by removing this extension they work fine,
but I would like some automatic renaming process as I have hundreds of these
files.

Any suggestions?

Command line "ren" command or batch file.

I haven't tried it with the * wildcard, but ? will work if they all
have the same number of letters in the name for sure.

ren ??????.newVer.??? ??????.???

Or if that isn't quite what you're wanting and want to but 100% sure
it works and have a few minutes..

dir *.newVer.* >> temp.bat
edit temp.bat

Put "ren" at the front of each line
Delete everything but the current name
Copy all names behind
ie. make the lines look lik this:
ren Filename.newVer.ext Filename.newVer.ext
Delete the ".newVer" from the second part so it looks like:
ren Filename.newVer.ext Filename.ext
Save and run the batch file.

Awesome - thanks a lot!

Now if I only could change/rename the prefix (3 digits) on selected files
within Design Assistant?
My next project has about 2500 parts that needs renaming, so it would be
nice not to be limited to 'Change name' on each and every one file.

Because of my IT department not allowing IIS on the server, Vault (Copy
Design) is out of the question, but I surely could use this functionality
right now.

No problem. Don't have any tricks for within Design Assistant. If
you need more clarification or help with any of that, let me know and
I'll try to help you out.

Email in the "From" field, just remove the appropriate crap.
