The Design Manager "Find and Replace" command edits all files instead the of just selected files and modifies all of them in respect of the activity that is being performed e.g. "Save as" or "Rename".
Solution
You need to edit a User Registry key to prevent all files being modified during the activity.
When you invoke the Find - Replace dialog for the first time, the registry key "
SELECT_FILES_WITH_ACTION" will be created at location "
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Siemens\Solid Edge\Version xxx\DEBUG".
The default value will be "0".
You need to change the registry key to "
1" to enable the implicit selection of files for a defined action. Once done, the "Find and Replace" command will be performed on only the selected files.
