Equation update in re-named assemblies?

    I've run into this problem several times now - I copy an assembly which
    contains equations (equations which contain references from a part dimension
    to a global variable defined in my assembly) - rename it, and rename parts
    within the assembly, in SolidWorks explorer.

    I now get a RED tree. OK - go into edit my parts, edit equations, reset
    references to the new part or assembly names because they didn't update with
    the rest of my reference changes done in explorer - problem should be
    solved, I would think.

    NO, I still get a RED tree, red equations folder. All my equations have a
    green check mark next to them, and they calculate OK. Display errors dialog
    box shows all my equations as referencing deleted dimensions, which they
    don't.

    Anyone else had this problem - Is there a cure ? Or am I just doing
    something stupid?

    Thanks - Sean

    IF it's "stupid" ask poor clueless jb.
    That's his specialty (and he does indeed seem
    a real expert).
    He even watches ads & claimed videos ... and takes food
    I gather ...
    "Will watch ad for food"?
