Hi,
I am renaming the part which is in large assembly by right click the part in model tree, component properties, change the component name so that file name in the solid works explorer will be unaltered. it is working fine and immediately it reflects in model tree. But, it is fine in my system only and once check in and open in another system, the component name in the assembly is same as per file name. i uncheck the mark in options=> external reference=>update document name when documents are replaced. i can rename the file name itself in explorer. But, i have used same file for more than ten instances with different equipment number. So, i need this option. Kindly give an idea to export the local memory to server so that the rename can be available in all other system.

Hi Suresh,
Make sure that you uncheck that external reference option on the other machine BEFORE you open the assembly. It is at the load time that it will pay attention to that setting and use the override name if the option is off. I believe if you have that option on, load the assembly and then save it, your override name will be lost.
I hope this helps,
Jim
