Rename (SOLIDWORKS)
The Rename command allows you to rename a CAD document in the Windchill Workspace by changing the values of the Name, Number, and File Name attributes. You can also rename objects that are in other users’ Workspaces; for such changes, a system notification is sent to the users when they synchronize their Workspaces with the Windchill server. For more details on the Windchill Rename command, see Rename.

To rename an object, you must have Modify Identity Access Permission.
Only the objects which have not been checked in can be renamed in the Workspace. To rename a checked in object, you must use the command in the Commonspace.
When renaming an object, you must not use any of the following special characters: @, \ and /. If you want to include ‘@’ character in the file name while renaming, set the preference Include generic name with instance to Yes. For more information, refer to Special Characters.
For more information, see Renaming CAD Documents and Parts.
