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.
If you open an assembly in a SOLIDWORKS session from Windchill and rename the file name of any child object from a Windchill workspace or commonspace, the Conflicts window appears. The Conflicts window lists only the renamed object and its immediate parent assembly.
In the Conflicts window, click OK to complete the rename operation. After the rename operation, the renamed child object is updated in the assembly structure in SOLIDWORKS.
Because only the renamed object and its immediate parent assembly are closed and updated, the renaming process is more efficient—especially when renaming child objects in large assemblies. For more details on the Windchill Rename command, see the following topics:

• To rename an object, you must have Modify Identity Access Permission.
• Only the objects which have not been checked in can be renamed from the Windchill workspace. To rename a checked in object, you must use the Rename command from the Windchill commonspace.
• When renaming an object (SOLIDWORKS part or assembly file), you must not use any of these special characters: @*|\/":?<>. For more information on supported characters, refer to Special Characters.
