I need to change the names of some of my electrical routing
files using SWx Explorer. Will my routing and wire data still
exist? I have noticed that there are some .xml files with similar
names as the cable part and assembly files. Do these need to be the
same names?
Upon renaming...
1. There is an .xml file titled with the cable name and then "FromToList". This file gets recreated after the file is opened in SWx (with routing turned on) with the new name. The old file is not deleted so I assume it just becomes junk. I am now concerned with the information in this new xml file. Does it have the new names in the from to list or did it not update at all? Is this where SWx stores its from-to info?
2. Routing does not like the "Update component names" option. This means that the names of the files do not get updated in the FM automatically. I am able to manually rename the cable part but not the main routing assembly. And, again, I am not sure what happens to my from-to info. Will my from-to info become corrupt if I force SWx to use the "update component names" option?
If anyone has any information on this topic I would be greatly obliged. Thanks!
