Tech Tip: Renaming Referenced Configurations

Category: It’s About Time

Ever try to rename a configuration and get this error?




New in SolidWorks 2009 Service Pack 2.0 (and higher) is the ability to rename referenced configurations.

Procedure:

  1. With the part or assembly open, as well as the document referencing the configuration to be renamed, highlight the configuration and either slow double click, or press <F2> to rename it.
  2. Navigate to the referencing document so that the drawing view or assembly component can read the new name.
  3. Click OK to the following warning message:

Notes:

  1. This has been tested with parts and assemblies being referenced by drawings and higher level assemblies.
  2. This is not known to be available prior to Service Pack 2.0.
  3. This enhancement is not documented in the Fixed SPR’s.
