Saving and publishing project files.

Hello forum, i have a few inquiries to enhance my projects file structure on my iMac and for sharing packages with clients and consultants. 

 

[1] 

I create a new layout on my project and number / name it respectively: IA-004 / Main Level. 

At some point i change the name of the board to say: IA-007 / Main level floor plan. 

The issue is the board name updates in AC but the .DWG file saved still keeps the old name and number. Now i am concerned that if i do go to update the DWG the new name will count as a new path and AC will not register it. 

 

[2]

As it stands the project files get saves with a number and name but i am familiar with exports from AC-Revit that also have a date stamp saved within the name of the .DWG file. Is there a way i can have AC save/publish my DWGs with the current name/time&date stamp saved as the name of the DWG file?

1. What are you calling "the board" where you are changing names exactly?
2. You manually add any date stamps to names of your DWG files, there is nothing automatic in the base program to do it.

Hello, @pendean lets say the layout's name on the project in AC started as: IA-004 / Main Level

Then i change it to: AID-007 / Main level floor plan. All changes within the AC project (Sheetset).

 

When i "Reveal in finder" the layout to see the corresponding file on my mac, the name of the file is not the updated one but the old/initial one the file was created with. 

 

And thank you for filling int the time stamp detail.

Forgive me, but why would the DWG file name change because you renamed the layout inside the file? Or are you just not seeing the updated layout name, just the old layout name?

A half-dozen screenshots from you would probably better explain it all if you have the time.

I was under the false impression that as i named the file when i was creating it with a title when i change that title within the project it would save a new version of the DWG using that new title. 

 

I am sensing that this is not correct ?

AFAIK this is the only way to rename files and folders to do what you want, assuming I understood your intent of course http://osxdaily.com/2010/03/18/how-to-rename-a-file-or-folder-in-mac-os-x/
