    Is it just me or..... Renaming Parts and Configurations in SWExplorer
    can lead to instability.

    I just went through a largish assembly, about 5 levels deep in SWE and
    renamed all the parts as well as a large number of configurations.
    There was no problem with the lower level assemblies or parts, but in
    the top level assembly there was a problem. Upon opening it would get
    through most of the opening procedures, rebuild, etc. and then CTDT.
    This happened whether I preopened the lower level assemblies or not.
    When I forced it to open lightweight there was no problem and by
    resolving subassemblies one by one I finally got it to straighten out (
    I hope).

    No it is not you :)
    We had the same problem and our Var also confirmed that there is a problem.
    Better to copy a project, whilst in Pdmworks, (2005 only).

    Now this has to be one the greatest upgrade ever, only just beaten by bulk
    check-in with the, "turn sub folders in to sub projects", option :) :)
    :) :)

    Solidworks has also confirmed that there is an bug with the print preview in
    2005 sp 0.1, I will post the id number tomorrow.
