File name does not match title bar name

[Anonymous]

Has anybody come across this...

I have two assemblies in a project directory.. When you open one of them, the name on the Inventor's window title bar is different than the actual file name. The other is fine.

See attachment.

No big deal but I thought I was going crazy when I thought I had typed the file name wrong.

Inventor 2008 SP2....

Open the assembly and edit the top line of the browser. (Slow double click the type what you want.) I think you can even edit it in the parent assembly but then it won't affect future instances.

Changing the filename does not change this. There was some discussion about this a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks. Didn't think about looking in the browser. Must've got in there by mistake at some point with my fat little fingers and changed the name by mistake.

Or you may have made the mistake while saving it the first time and renamed the file to fix it. It only reflects the initial save.

There is actually an "assembly tools" add-in that will correct the browser names.

For Assemblies, the add-in can be accessed under the Assemble tab, Productivity, Rename Browser Nodes. Select filename (selecting default resets things). What's really insidious is that the browser node AND the title bar show the same thing, which can differ from the filename and cause confusion, especially with Vault based "copy design" files. Inventor should default to filename always. Maybe I should file an Ideastation post on this. Note: this problem exists on Presentations and Drawings and the tool is not available there. Also, my company has default templates set up which force us to do this rename every time we save a drawing. Andy
