    I have many models, drawings and assemblies that were all named using
    Uppercase letters. Client prefers Uppercase for first letter only,
    followed by all lowercase letters. SW Explorer won't allow a simple
    case change when renaming. I must actually change the name using
    lowercase, then go back and change it again to the proper name. After
    doing this I notice that my drawing BOM's & part name in Feature
    Manager DO NOT update to reflect the lowercase.
    Win Explorer allows me to change to lowercase with a rename but, the
    same failure to update BOM's & Feature Manager exist. I found that I
    can delete a BOM & insert a new one in my drawings & the new one will
    be correct but, the Feature Manager still does not update.
    Aside from all the typing required, is there a "right" and "wrong" way
    to do this?
    Thanks.

    Try the following litmus test.

    Tell your client you will charge them for the time it takes to make
    these <insert expletive here> changes.

    Their response should be an indicator of how "serious" they are about
    this requirement.

    Sounds like some anal retentive IT administrator at work.

    Sorry I don't have any other suggestions.
