Rename Files - Preference

Renaming of active file in PLM using SolidWorks menu File > Save As:

If the integration preference Rename file in PLM on File > Save As operation is set to True, and when you perform File > Save As operation on active file, integration will perform the same set of operations as Rename > Active file.
Note: 
  • Before running these operations, you must set the following SolidWorks option to True.
  • Only those files which exist in PLM are considered for renaming and/or uploading into PLM.
  • If the preference Allow operations on previous revisions is set to true; then during these menu operations, integration allows you to rename and/or correct the file references of previous revision of files also. By default, integration allows to perform rename and upload of latest revisions of files. Note that during Edit/View file in Integration, integration corrects the references and upload the file even if the file is of previous revision irrespective of this preference value.
  • During these operations, integration renames only the current version of the file which exists locally. Other versions of the files are not renamed, they retain their original names.
  • After renaming the files, ensure that the referenced file names are corrected in all the files that have references to this file. Do not rename a file multiple times unless and until the referenced filenames are corrected in all the files that have references to this file.
