Files to Copy
|
Lists files to copy. Check to rename files as needed.
Note: Rename check boxes are visible after entering either a New File Prefix or New File Suffix.

Destination
|
Enter the full path for the Target Folder, or Browse to it. Choose to:
- Create new project: Creates a duplicate project file with a new name. Duplicates all of the attributes of the original project file. You can override the default name (same as target folder name).
- Use source project: Does not create a project file. Copies files (and the folders that contain them) to the specified Target Folder. Do not locate the destination path in the workspace of the source project.
Important:
- Rename the files to avoid overwriting existing files or creating duplicates in the destination folder. Duplicate file names in a project can lead to unexpected use of the wrong file when an assembly is loaded.

File Naming
|
Specify a New File Prefix or New File Suffix if renaming files.
- Non-Inventor documents are not renamed by default. Select Rename non-Inventor files to rename all non-Inventor documents. Alternatively, set the Rename property (in the Files to Copy table) for individual files.
- iFactory document members (located in the workspace or its subfolders) are not set to be renamed by default. iFactory automatically generates these document names.
- Prefix or Suffix entries can contain only characters valid for Windows supported file names. If you enter invalid characters, a flashing red dot with an exclamation mark in it appears next to the entry.
Important:
- In the iLogic design template being copied, write rules that reference files renamed during the copy operation to account for a variable file name, such as Component.Replace ("part:1", prefix_var & filename & suffix_var). Otherwise, edit the rules by hand and change the file names.
- Be sure that all component browser names in the source assembly documents are stable before doing a copy while using the renaming options. By default, component browser names are linked to the file names they point to in Inventor. When the file name changes, the browser name follows suit. To break this link, rename the component browser to something user defined. Once the browser name is out of sync with the file name, the link is broken and the file name no longer drives it. If this link is not broken, and the copied document is renamed during the copy operation, rules that refer to component browser names fail.

Copy Options

Delete rules
Deletes all rules in the document copies.
- Delete rules in documents being issued or made available to people outside your organization that you do not intend to share your intellectual property with.
- Delete rules when the copy set does not include all documents of the iLogic design template needed for all rules to run successfully. (An example is when component alternates or rule data source documents are left out.)
Update Part Number - sets the Part Number (iProperty) of the destination file the same as the source file name.
