Rename
This section describes the Rename action available from the File menu in Windchill. It is not accessible from the CAD authoring application.
Rename changes the name of an object by changing the values of the Number, Name, and Model Name attributes (assuming you have Modify Identity access permission). You can also rename objects that are in another user's workspace; the system notifies the other user that they need to synchronize their workspace with updated information on the server.
 | Only objects that have never been checked in can be renamed from the workspace. Once objects have been checked into the commonspace, they can no longer be renamed from the workspace and Rename must be accessed from the commonspace. |
When renaming a file, the following characters are not permitted in the file name: *, |, \, /, “, :, ?, < >
