Rename parts
Rename parts
(OP)
hej everyone
I have a large assembly with a lot of parts in it.
I want to rename all the files in the following manner :
sb-1.par
sb-2.par
sb-3.par
and so on!
How do I do that without having to do it one by one?
I have revision manager but it does not look like it is possible to do it in that program.
Is there perhaps a small utillity for things like this??

Might be possibly to do somehting in basic or XML but that's beyond me.
I think similar came up a few weeks ago, take a look.

RE: Rename parts
Perhaps Jason Newell or Barham Software have already written something like this.

RE: Rename parts
You may be able to use the Edit/Replace function in Rev Manager to do some of the work - just leaving you to add the 1,2,3,4 etc

RE: Rename parts
The files are named with a combination of numbers and letters, the number is the actual part number and the letters are a short description of the part.

RE: Rename parts
I know it's possible in VB, because at a previous job we had a routine for doing it. Unfortunately I can't get the prog for you

RE: Rename parts
don't know which version you're running and when this feature
has been introduced:
- Tools --> Options --> Manage
the formula field may be used for this. The information, however
must be available as variable(s) within the file properties
When a variable is empty its name will be shown.
