Saving a copy of a drawing & part

[jvian]

I am trying to save time and save a copy of a part (and therefore its associated drawing) with a new name to keep a similar drawing scheme. What I have noticed is that when I save the part to the new name a new drawing is created with the new name but it still references the old part. Does anyone know of a way to save a copy of a part (with a different name) and automatically create a copy of a drawing referencing that new part? I am runnning Creo 1.0 M010.

Thanks in advance,

Just solved my own issue, it requires that both the part and drawing be in session for the rename and new association to work. I had been trying to copy the part and drawing without the drawing in session.

If both part & drawing have the same name, then adding the config option

rename_drawings_with_object both

will allow you to save as, and both be saved with the new name.
