Hi,

I made a "Rename All Shares" years ago, is this what you are looking for??
The field "Assembly" is the main assy in which you want to do your rename acgtion, "Part/Assy" is the part or assy that you want to rename. "Basename" is the new name for this Part/Assy. All shares of the Part/Assy will also be renamed.

(in-package :JAAPS_TOOLS)
(use-package :OLI)
