Rename
The "Rename" dialog window opens.
Enter the new name.
When you rename a workpiece, you can also change the file type with
the "Toggle key". File types are matched automatically in the part
program and subprogram directories.
There are two ways of renaming files:
• Renaming the workpiece directory
• Renaming a directory in the workpiece directory
Rename a workpiece directory:
When you rename a workpiece directory, all the workpiece files under
that directory that have the same name as the directory are renamed.
If a job list with the name of the directory exists, the instructions in that
job list are also renamed.
Comment lines remain unchanged.
Examples:
Workpiece directory A.WPD is renamed B.WPD:
All files with the name A.XXX are renamed as B.XXX, i.e. the
extension is retained.
If a job list called A.JOB exists, it is renamed as B.JOB.
If this job list contains instructions of file A.XXX and these are located
in this workpiece directory, then that file is also renamed B.XXX.
