As I understand it, DA does not allow renaming of a file unless it is referenced by another one. So, if you open an assembly in DA, you can't rename that assembly, or if you open a derived part, you can rename the part it is derived from, but not the derived part itself. I can't explain why, but that is how it works, in my experience.
Yes i know that, but I'm not opening the dwg file, and trying to rename it. I choose to open a whole assembly, and then I allocate all ipt and iam files and pick an option "Find all", and it shows me all drawnings, which means all my dwg files are derived from my assembly, but there is no option "rename", i can just copy it with new names, and then delete an old one.
Drawings are not referenced by any other files, so there are no links that will be lost if they are renamed in the ordinary Windows Explorer way. I don't know why that should prevent them from also being renamed in DA, but that seems to be the case.
Like Igor, I just take care of drawing names separate from DA.
Your drawing references your assembly - not the other way around. There is no need to rename the drawings via the design assistant, you can just rename them in Windows. It won't do them any harm.
No, there is one link that will be lost. When yo open the assembly, a gearbox for example, and then you click on the right mouse button on the gear wheel for example and choose an option "open dwawning" if it has the same name as wheel it will be open, if its not than it wount.
That's true, but there's no link embedded in the assembly file, it only depends on the files having the same name. DA has not had any updates since long before that right click>Open Drawing function was added. I, too, would like to be able to rename any file in Design Assistant, but I can also understand the logic for not being able to.
) I rename them in old fashion way - in Windows Explore.
