Rename Drawing

The Rename Drawing command is used to rename the current drawing. The database will be updated so that any devices associated with the drawing will have their drawing location information changed.

If you rename a drawing using Windows Explorer or the standard CAD SAVEAS command, the database does not know if you intend to copy or rename the drawing. It is very easy to create significant errors in your drawings and database if you choose the wrong option.

Renaming the drawing using this command will prevent these errors from happening.

To rename the current drawing, go to
Ribbon: DM Electrical→Utilities→  â†’Rename Drawing
Pulldown Menu: DM Electrical→Utilities→Rename Drawing

Rename Drawing Dialog Box​

  •  New Drawing Name: The name of the new drawing.

Enter the New Drawing Name into the dialog box and press the button. The name of the current drawing will be changed.
