Rename
The Rename action enables you to change the name of an object by changing the values of the Number, Name, and Model Name attributes. You can also rename objects that are in another user’s workspace. The system then notifies the other user that they need to synchronize their workspace with the updated information on the server.
The Rename action is available on the File menu in Windchill. It is not accessible from CATIA V5.
* 
You must have “Modify Identity” access permission to use the Rename action. See your administrator for further details.
Only objects that have never been checked into Windchill can be renamed from the workspace. Once objects have been checked into Windchill, the Rename action must then be accessed from the commonspace.
If you open a renamed file with open links, automatic updates ensure that those links are dynamically repaired to the new file.
