Rename all files and subfiles names in with API VB.NET?

[mucip]

Hi,

I can change all files and subfiles names (Not occurence. Real file names) in SolidWorks in Model Tree. But I can not do the samething in Inventor. When I rename the part/assembly then I can change only occurence name. By the way I wrote code in SW to change tons of Parts/Assemblies files names with one button. I use ordinary file names for all files like

ModelA-00001

ModelA-00002

ModelA-00003

etc...

I use this when I want to create new version of the all assembly model with the new numbers like below:

ModelB-00001

ModelB-00002

ModelB-00003

etc...

I can update all source of drawing files with the new file names. This is also very important.

In SW this is not so difficult with API. I want to do same thing in Inventor API.

Could you please guide me?

Regards,

Mucip:)

Renaming files can be done using the API but Inventor and vault have both tools to create design copies. Did you have a look at these options:

Copying an Inventor assembly using iLogic Design Copy

Have You Tried: Copy Design

https://help.autodesk.com/view/VAULT/2024/ENU/?guid=GUID-CA59F765-6BE5-47C6-8EF5-B9D427854D97

These options are way easier than creating your own rule.

Hi,

First time I saw.

OK. I will check it. But we don't use VAULT.

Anyway. I check. Thanks.
