Hello Ryan,

We have a product, CopyWorks, which could solve your problem. CopyWorks is
designed to copy assemblies and all related drawings to new location. All
files can be renamed before copying either manually or automatically. The
user interface of CopyWorks can be modified to your needs or different user
cases. You can, for example, create user input fields for "customer",
"project", "position", "part number" etc, and define that file names should
be of form project-position-partnumber. Then you can use the input fields to
fill in the mentioned custom properties in per-file or per-assembly basis.
The file names are then automatically updated for each file. CopyWorks looks
in the assembly folder and seeks for all drawings, then it will find out
which drawing is related to which model. When the model is finally copied,
all model and drawing references are updated, and voilá, you have a new
assembly which has no references to the old assembly.

Please see our product description in http://www.cadworks.fi/eng/index.html,
select CopyWorks from the menu.
