Renaming a config

Hello

I've had a problem for a few days to rename my configs.
Let me explain, when I want to rename a config, I can't if the plan of my room is open. Also, the problem is the same if my part is in an assembly and it's open.
Small detail, before when I selected my config and clicked on it I could directly name it, now, I have to go to the config properties.
This problem has been present since I have access to the 3Dexperience cloud (to test), is it related? I guess because 2 colleagues don't have access to this platform and don't have any problems of this kind.

Is there a way to remedy this please? :pray:

Sincerely, Floris

Hello;

Not being able to rename a configuration while it is used in a plan or in an open assembly is normal behavior.
(It's like trying to rename a file from the explorer while it's open).

for the second point I would say " yes " it's related since it didn't do it before or with your colleagues who don't have a connection 3Dexperience.La underlying question is: do you really need to connect to the 3Dexperience Cloud when your classmates seem to be able to do without it.

" Not being able to rename a configuration while it's being used in a plane or in an open assembly is normal behavior." It's noted, but why can my colleagues do it and why could I do it before? That's what I don't understand.

For the second point, as I said, it's to test. Indeed, my colleagues do not have access to the platform, for the moment. If the tests are right for us, it's highly likely that they will come under 3Dexperience as well.

Hello
I think that for everything related to 3DEX it is better to make a ticket to VISIATIV support, the whole thing being in development (and for a while...).
Have you tried to log out of the 3DEX platform?

Indeed, I'm going to make a ticket.
I prefer to ask here first, instead of wasting time (and looking like a c*n) to the support if the problem came from me.

Thank you for your answers.
Have a nice day

Thank you for giving us feedback, you never know

Hello

Which version of SW?
In 2020 a priori no problem to rename the config but on the other hand you can't delete a config used in an open assembly/MEP.
From memory, this was not possible on previous old versions.
If your version is higher than the 2020, it's either a bug (reboot SW) or a system option (search with ' config ' in the SW settings)

Well, not quite.
Indeed, historically, you couldn't rename a config if it was used.
Now (I can't say since which version), it is possible to rename a config in use and the user documents of the file are updated (there is probably an internal ID for the config). And it works quite well.

Hello

2024 version.
My colleagues are too, but they work.
I looked looking for " config " in the settings but there is nothing.

I opened a ticket, I'm waiting for a response

Hello

Already check if the " rename by slow double-click" box is still checked:

rename

Hi all

I have had confirmation from the support, it is indeed the 3Dexperience.
They have no way around it.
I managed to get by with a macro, it's not ideal but it works and above all it's not longer.

Have a good day and thank you again for your answers!
