Change all files in assembly in Design Assistant

[Anonymous]

I am copying an assembly with 430 parts using DA. All the part files have the
prefix 178122, then are numbered accordingly, i.e. 178122001.ipt, 178122002.ipt,
etc. I want the part number to be 190433xx.ipt. Is there a way to do this en
masse? (all at once) I didn't think it was intended to have to manually update
430 file names. (BTW, the assembly has a completely different file name.)

The only cheezy workaround I can think of is to copy "190433" to the clipboard and for each file you rename Paste the contents into the filename area and fill in the last few digits manually.



Sorry but that's all I got on a Friday afternoon. 😉

There is a shareware program out there that could 'fix' your 178122 to
190433 problem...it is called Namewiz. The site is below.
