File name not changing

I have a part ABC.ipt. I do a SAVE COPY AS; DEF.ipt. That works fine. I can open DEF and change it but it tells me it is ABC.ipt. Does anyone know why this happens.

Try renaming the part in the model tree. I have had this happen before also.

There is a very handy set of tools that are shipped with Inventor that will
take care of this for you. They are called assembly tools and will allow
you to rename browser nodes among other things. In INV 2008, they are
located at C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor
2008\SDK\Tools\Users\AssemblyTools. You don't have to do any of the
renaming manually - you can do all files in your assembly with a simple
click.

This works in asm, but not if you open the part.
Any suggestion?

Open the IPT, slow doube-click on the filename, at
the top of the browser, to rename it.

After the text is highlighted, delete it and then
hit Enter.

The correct filename should show up now, and the
assembly browser tree will also update.
