Vault copy design desperately needs a copy and replace function built in. I'm working with a very large assembly (1,000 or so different parts) and I have to rename each component manually. There is a feature to add Prefix and Suffix but there is no feature to remove the previous prefix or suffix. Furthermore, I spent 4+ hours renaming every part only to have the copy design fail. There should be some way to save the copy design before executing. A simple find and replace feature would save me hours and hours.
You already CAN do a find and replace on file names and paths, in copy design. And it saves TONS of time.

Find Replace is something already in the product - 2015 R2 also has this functionality in addition to auto file numbering.
We are additionally looking at how to save copy design configurations to address issues with execution and reuse.
