Hi all,
I need some assistance with the design assistant. I have files which I have exported from a master ipt file.
I would like to rename the master file and assembly files but when I open the files in the design assistant it says the files needs to be updated to the current inventor release, at which point I say okay and presume that the files have now automatically updated.
I cannot click on the action button to allow me to rename the file as it is not giving me the option.
All assistance is appreciated.

Design assistant will not update the files, you'll have to open them in inventor and save them there.

@CWC_Drawing_Office Check if your application options are set up for migrating on save properly:
(it might be set to not prompt and not save)
@M.Mertens_S&H also gives a good method of migrating files through the task schedular.

I have the same Problem sometimes. Just click Pass and then replace the file by right click in the Model Browser.
This should work

You are 100% correct.
So it's not the individual files thats the problem it is the assembly where all the parts have been sent to that isn't linked to the master.
I made a pack n go but I cannot load it onto the forum because theres multiple file formats that the forum doesn't accept.
Will be happy to share via email.

Somewhere in your process something is wrong. Design Assistant will definitely do what you are asking.
Have you opened the assembly and saved/migrated everything in it? If so, close Inventor, then open the assembly in Design Assistant. Drill down to find the master file and change the name there. This should modify the links in all the part files that depend on the master file.

Hi! Please zip up the P&G files and attach it here or send it to me directly johnson.shiue@autodesk.com. I would like to understand the Design Assistant behavior better.
Many thanks!
Hmm... that character did not give me issues creating a zip file, but it made me wonder...
Looking at your image, it seems you have quite a few subdirectories.
There might be a slight chance your path has too many characters and that might be interfering.
Can you try moving your files up a few directories and then using design assistant again?
