Irene Radcliffe explains the correct way to rename drawing files using Project Manager, and shows the results when they are renamed incorrectly.
- [Instructor] Renaming your drawings…is very straightforward using Project Manager.…But there are few rules we have to follow…to ensure our files remain associated…with the current project.…So let's take a look at renaming files.…What I'm going to do is create a new drawing…and I'm going to call this one O2 O4 PID…and OK.…So let's assume that somebody else…was going to be working on O3…so we named our file O4.…So as the way things work out…somebody comes along and says no…your file is going to be O3 after all.…
So if we've done some significant work on this…obviously we don't want to start again…so we'll rename that file.…So what we want to do is close the file…so when you see the asterisk there…it means that there's been work done.…So save the file and click the X to exit.…And you'll see the padlock's gone…meaning that file's available for editing.…So we can't rename a file while it's open…so now that we're closed…we can right-click on this…and actually first…let's take a look in Windows.…Let's look at our Exercise folder…
