Batch File Rename with PDMWorks? 1

[tmalinski]

Is it possible to do a batch file rename and maintain all links and references to other files. I was poking around PDMWorks, SolidWorks Explorer, and SolidWorks Task Scheduler and didn't see anything like that. I know I can rename individual files, but I have about a hundred parts, drawings, and assemblies, that I need to make partial name changes to.
Example,
Change 309P_DT101.SLDPRT TO 303P_DT101.SLDPRT
Only the 309P to 303P characters change

I don't know about rename, but I know you can with Copy Project, assuming you are changing the file names to have the same name change.

I have not found any batch rename. You may have to do each one separate.

Yes - it can be done using SolidWorks Explorer (assuming your files are not in a vault).
