Renaming Files

To rename a file:

1. Depending on your viewing mode:
   • If you are in View – Lists mode, select the Show Files check box.
     The Files In Library and Files In Cell list boxes appear on the Library Manager form.
     
     
   • If you are in View – Tree mode, expand the branches of the tree until you can see the file you want to rename.
     
     
2. Select the file you want to rename.
3. Choose Edit – Rename.
   The Rename File form appears. The name of the file you selected appears in the From File field.
   
   
4. In the To File field, type the new name for the file.
   The new file name cannot duplicate an existing file name in the library.
5. Click OK.

The Library Manager changes the name of the selected file (From File) to the new name (To File).

If you are working with a design-managed file, the Rename Cell File dialog box shows an additional section.
