Recommended - Close Solidworks before running this application. It is also advisable to rename Healthy project / "Pack and Go" projects only. Also keep a backup of the project being renamed 2. Functionality The application renames all parts, assemblies & drawings along with referenced documents based on string replace criteria specified by user. Application provides complex criteria to rename strings, and manage the files User also have option to update part numbers based on same criteria. 3. Main Window Main Window of application is shown in following figure. Purpose of various fields is mentioned below

2 Project to Rename: Indicates the location of project. Current Workspace: this is the file structure on currently selected folder Renamed Workspace: This is the file structure to be created after renaming. Once the rename rules are applied, it will be seen in this structure, but this structure will only be created after renaming action is completed. Replace Strings: In this section user can define various rules to replace strings. All the strings defines in left side of table column will be replaced with right column. User can also specify Prefix and Suffix to be added in the names of files Thumbnail: Displays the thumbnail of currently selected node Undo: User can rename nodes manually or with auto replace. To cancel the last action, user can use undo button. Show thumbnail: If this checkbox is checked, user can see thumbnail of selected node in thumbnail window. But this can make the application slow sometimes. In that case user can uncheck this checkbox Reset: this button will reset this dialog to original state by removing all the changes user has created. Highlight: This combobox allows user to highlight the nodes which were modified y Auto reae (by replace rules) or Maual reae or whih are Ureaed

3 Next-Previous Buttons: These buttons navigate user from one node to another node. If a Highlight selection is active, these buttons will navigate between highlighted nodes, so that its easier for user to find next nodes Context Menu: The renamed tree contains a context menu for various actions. It also displays the shortcut key of the action (Please note that all the context menu actions should be performed after the replace rules are applied. Applying the replace rules will remove all the actions performed by context menu items on the tree)

4 Rename: renames node manually Exclude: excludes the selected node from auto replace action Exclude with children: excludes selected folder and all its children from auto replace action Include: includes the excluded node Include with children: includes selected node and all its children if they were excluded Show in left tree: selects corresponding node to the selected node in left tree Expand all: expands all the nodes in tree Collapse all: collapses all the nodes in tree Find Duplicate Files: This action will search for any files with same name inside the workspace. If there are multiple files with same name, the Inventor may get incorrect reference file. Hence user can verify duplicate files in dialog and can rename them if necessary. 4. Rename Action Oe all the data is filled, likig o Reae utto starts reae atio. First it will create backup of current project. Then it will rename directory structure, and then will relink all the files for the changed references. (Stopping rename action in between will change links in some files and keep some files unchanged. It may create the project with broken links). The dialog will display approximate time estimate of the action At the end of renaming the report will be generated. The report includes the list of files which failed due to certain error. While the application renames the files, it also changes the references to all the files. Hence for a file which is renames, all the files referencing it, will be set with this new reference.

5 5. Configuration Dialog Following image displays the configuration window. User can set the default location of the report in this dialog. User can set solidworks version as per requirement.
