Assembly problem- copying folder to another location 1

[Jezovuk]

Hello!

I have a relative complex assembly that is located in a folder on C partiton.
Now i need to make random section of some parts but i dont want to do that on original assembly.
So i copy whole folder from C to D partition.
Now, i open assembly from D partition and make section.
But this also reflects to assembly on C and all it parts that has been sectioned.


How can i get two completely separated copies of folders with assembly and it part files?

Hm,
In case you want two identical assemblies , with the same names,
-What is your load options set to ?
"As saved" ? Then all the components but not the assembly still opens from the C-folder. ( the components in the d-folder will not be read.)
Set the load options to "from folder" or "from search dirs" and map the D-folder.
Both will read the components from the d-folder.

In case you want an initially identical assembly but with new filenames, use the clone tool.

Thank You Toost for your answer!
In this case filename is not important so i used clone tool with prefix.
I will try changing load options and see what can i get from that.
