you could look at Info > Feature List on some of their parts. If
they've copied a part the feature i.d.s will be the same, even if
they've reorderd them or renamed them etc. The chances of feature
i.d.s being the same are pretty slim I'd say.
I remember giving 3 students a 0 on a computer lab exercise because
they copied the part. It wasn't a big project though.

The "copied" issue is well established by the audit trail and the feature
IDs. Time stamping could also be an aid. Someone completed a part and the
other copied it. What's unclear is your network security. I've taken
cl*****
at schools and colleges where it was easily possible, given the appaling
lack of security, for anyone to copy/steal anything on a network drive.
So,
unless it can be demonstrated that such copying is impossible, why
implicate
both students!?! I'm also assuming that the cheat went to the trouble to
make his look like he'd done a lot of good work by renaming all the
features
the way they tell you to.
