Use this procedure to rename an existing project.
Renaming the project renames the following project files:
- Rename the project display name in Project Browser and Project Navigator
- Rename the APJ file
- Rename the top project folder
When you rename a project, all internal paths between the project files are automatically updated, so that all relationships between drawings are kept current.
Danger: When you repath a project that was saved in a version of
AutoCAD Architecture prior to 2010, the drawings are saved in the new file format. You will no longer be able to open these drawings in a version of
AutoCAD Architecture prior to 2010. Synchronizing a project with the project standards will also save the project drawings in the new file format.
Note: Do not use Windows Explorer to rename a project file. This might result in inconsistent project data.
- Verify that the project is closed.
- On the Quick Access toolbar, click Project Browser
.
- In the project selector, select the project you want to rename, right-click, and click Rename Project.
- Enter the new name, and click OK.
