no references to drawing files?

    Can I safely rename (through Windows Explorer) drawing files? I'm thinking
    that nothing references them (they're last in the chain) so I could do that.
    Is that correct?

    Brian,

    There's at least one backward pointer. In the model you can right click and
    "open drawing". Changing the name seems to mess this up permanently.

    Regards

    Open drawing only works when the drawing has the same name as the model AND
    is in the same folder as the model.

    Open drawing only works when the drawing has the same name as the model AND
    Yes, and its not even a 'real' link/pointer.. any .slddrw file that
    shares the same name as the part file, in that dir, gets opened....
