Renaming a folder in projectmanager should rename the folder in Windows Explorer

Renaming a folder in projectmanager should rename the folder in Windows Explorer

If you rename in project manager a drawing, this will be reflected in Windows Explorer but if you rename a folder in project manager this won't be reflected in Windows Explorer. It would be great if this will be reflected, too.

Personally I really liked the way the way v2016 handled folders, the folder name could be virtual, that is to say it only existed in Project Manager, but not File Explorer.  For example you could create a virtual folder called "InScope" or "Checked" or "IFC" and drag files to that folder in Plant3D, without affecting the dwg's location in Windows File Explorer.

Status changed to: Implemented

It has been implemented in AutoCAD Plant 3D 2025 RTM.

Both renaming and moving folders from Project Manager will be reflected in Windows Explorer now.
