Hello,
I'm developing some preliminary design part files that will ultimately be used for final production parts when I'm happy with the design. (Inj mold plastic housing assy)

I create the basic box shape, use Split to create the various top, bottom, bezels, ect. and detail the derived parts, no problems.

Then I want to save a copy of the existing design, but create a new version to develop further. I used Pack & Go to make copies and rename the files using SWKS Explorer.

The problem is that the "Resulting Bodies" name in the renamed parts don't update to the new part name. It still shows the name of the old version part. Is there a way to update the Resulting Body names when creating new renamed versions? If I redefine the Split feature to a new name, it gives me a brand new derived part and I loose all the work I 've done on the Split parts.

Hope that's clear.
Thanks,
Tony
