Like - "D1 13" to "Normal Door" or "D2 Folding 13" to "Bedroom Door" ?
Did I make myself clear?
Thank you in advance.

If you want to rename the Library Part itself, you will have to open it for editing with the File\Libraries and Objects\Open Object menu command.
Then you have to save it under a different name.

Hello,
change all the already placed objects to these new ones by hand.
I would suggest just copying the library folder in the Finder and renaming all the objects as you wish. The objects' internal GUID
is made for this, all the old projects will use these renamed ones automatically and happily.
If the manufacturer ever updates, then you just rename them again. Seems
much less hassle to me.
Hope this helps.

I work around this by doing a "save as" for the object and then deleting the original object.

Hello,
It is a work around to lose the internal GUID, then the old
projects will have a lots of black dots marking missing object.
Would not recommend.

This thing has changed over the years;
- before version 10 the object was found solely by it's name
- in version 10-11 the object was found by it's internal GUID and name
- from version 12 on the object is foundonly by it's internal GUID
The nasty thing is that the library report window does only give the
name of the missing object, but doesn't tell the missing GUID. So
there is no way to repair a object if it's GUID is lost.
The only way is to find the right original version of the object...and that can't be done if it is always trashed.
Best regards, Juha
