    Hello group,

    I want to rename an assembly, but i lost all the feature part references.
    For example, i have the assembly file 01xxx_000_000_A and i want to rename
    it in 01999_000_000_A. I can do this with the save as command. Now i can
    open the assembly 01999_000_000_A and solidworks find all the parts that
    are be connected with this assembly. Only the features of the parts
    reference of 01xxx_000_000_A shown up in the featuremananger with e.g.
    Cut-Extrude1->?
    I think that i do something wrong. Can anybody help me out to do this the
    correct way.

    Thanx

    Mike

    Try saveas copy on the original assembly. External references are always to
    the original assembly in which the in context feature was created based on
    some kind of internal ID number. I think SW threw up a warning when you did
    your saveas.
