Rename - Active File

If you click Rename > Active File, integration checks whether the active file exists in PLM or not. If the active file exists in PLM, then following steps are performed:

  1. Click Rename > Active File. The Save As dialog box in SolidWorks opens. Specify the new filename in the Save As dialog box and click OK. SolidWorks renames the file locally and replaces the references of this file under any file that is loaded in application session.
  2. Integration corrects the references for those files (under the structure of currently open files) that are not loaded in session but has direct reference to the currently renamed file.
  3. Active file is renamed in PLM. Integration sets the data set field Orig. file name (FILE.ORIG_FILE_NAME) with the value of its original filename.
  4. The file name of the Neutral files (if any) for this renamed file is also corrected according tonew names.
  5. Since the active file has been modified via application, it is uploaded in PLM.
  6. The parent files (whose references were corrected or got corrected above and which exist in PLM) are uploaded in PLM.
  7. Results of renaming active file is displayed.
