Is there any way to rename a tag without using battman? I need to replace some drawing borders and some of the attribute tags on the new border are named differently from the tags on the old border.
I'd like to be able to use transparent commands to make a script file to do it automatically instead of calling up battman, clicking through and typing on every single one.
In attached file a.dwg, I use battman command to change text color inside the block. It did well for the color change part but get the text upside down as well. I am in 2010.

I want to rename some ribbon tabs. For example in C3D I have an insert tab, but also a map insert tab, but they are both named "Insert". I would like to be able to rename one of them Map Insert instead of just Insert.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow could I be bringing up the Rename Dialog Box when I am in the Layer Dialog Box creating new layers? It seems to happen from now and again mostly when I go to change the color of the new layer. This shouldn't be an issue but once the box comes up, all my work inside the layer dialog box will be lost when I close it and reopen it.
Doesn't matter if I pick "OK" "CLOSE" or the "X" in the upper right hand corner of the box. Rename command, just what I hit, strike or click that brings it up and hopefully a means to change my CUI so I don't do it anymore.

Can i use battman to make a update of my blok/attribute...but i need that all attribute stay at the same position on plan?
the best way to archive and move/rename a project folder? As the new CAD manager for my firm I am going to restructure our entire server as the current structure is very unorganized and inefficient. Projects date back as far as the 90's and I would like to move them all into an archive folder but also have them still be working files as far as XREF's are concerned. None of the drawings have XREF's that utilize the relative file location feature so when I do move a folder, all of the XREF's must then be updated. This is not an option because I have at least 500 projects that will be moved which would be far too time consuming.

I used to be able to just double click on a layout tab and change it. This dialogue box can't seem to edit it if the drawing is open. We use the layout the tab as current revision of drawing.
I know I accidentally click on yes before when it asked me if I want to use the dialogue box to edit layout tabs but can't seem to find anything on how to disable it.
When i use Battman to re-arrange my attributes (in order to be able to auto-number them easily with a numbering-lisp), all values, rotation actions etc. are messed up and the block becomes unusable.
I use 2009, I've also tried it in ACAD 2014, same story.
The next step would be to create the block from scratch.
Is it possible to have Lightroom rename the source images according to my custom naming convention?
I just imported 278 photos and they are all correctly renamed within Lightroom however the source files retained the original Canon generated names. I want to rename them for backup/in case I ever decide to stop using Lightroom/etc.
So all of a sudden, out of the blue I have a problem creating layers.Whenever I create a new layer in the layer properties manager i give it a name (as you would) I then select make make current in the layer propertis manager so I progress to work in this new layer and..... The name changes back to the default Layer1 in the Layer Properties Manager but in the Layer dropdown the name of the layer is as i renamed it.this is happening on two non networked computers and on old drawings and new files alike.

I am currently working on a large drawing that has many tabs (145), I have made a mistake midway and would like to find a way I can rename them quicker than "Right Clicking" on each tab to change it. That will be very time consuming.
Also, is there a way to print a list of all of the current layouts within a drawing.
How can I fix the following:
In AutoCad (I am working with ACA 2012) there are several dialog boxes e.g. the "rename" dialog box that always show up in the same (too small) size.
After renaming e.g. a block, the window closes and I have to repeat the command to rename another item.
I would like to size the window and keep the setting and would like to keep renaming things without getting interupted by automatical closeups of the window.

Can I tell inventor to rename the part automatically to the file name as seen in windows explorer? Can I set it to rename automatically in the tree in an assembly environment?
I'm using Inventor 2013.
I am having a bit of trouble finding the correct code for some automated ilogic in inventor 2011.
I am trying to achieve an automated rename and save process for an assembly file as well as the variable parts in the file.an example would be a steel column...
Open ilogic steel column, run rules to change column length and section size...then save a copy to workspace, but also to a specific folder in the workspace..also rename the column file and save.
i have this for file saving -
SyntaxEditor Code Snippet
Test=InputBox("Add File name", "Please Add your file name", "Prefix number - File - .iam")
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(ThisDoc.WorkspacePath()&Test, True)
Which works fine to save the new assembly, but i need the same for the variable column within the assembly, and also to save to a specific folder not just the workspace top level.
I have this drawing with over 200 layout tabs. (I do shop drawings for a cabinet/countertop manufacturer, and we do one drawing per project.) Here's the thing... I need to eliminate pages 1, 6, 14, 20, 24, 30, 40, 44, 47, 56, 61, 64, 73, 78, 81, 90, 95, and 101 because they are now NOT a part of the project.
In my title block, I have the layout name as a field, so it says "PG [layout tab name]/224" which is needed because there's a table of contents for the pages that are printed.
Is there any easy eay to renumber all the tabs, or am I stuck re-numbering every single one?

How can you edit the name of a block without using the rename command.
What if your drawing has over fifty blocks, and your chasing the renaming of just one block?
Would this be a script type solution.. ?
my only issue is the rename of the layouts and file options.... There really is only 1 way to rename the layout... Either to do it or not.. Then there is a "sub" option, if you will, to prefix with the sheet number... However, if the sheet title is is over 64 characters long... it will not rename the layout tab, unless you uncheck "Prefix with sheet number" I really do not need the layout tab to have the name. and besides. it always just cuts off the title anyway. "ULTIMATE TAILINGS FAC..." That isnt even useful.
However, I'd like the layout tab to just be the sheet number. thats it.. just the sheet number... and still have it work in SSM.
I want to use a script to rename layers in a set of drawings, but I want it to just ignore layers in the script that are not present in that particular drawing, so for instance, the following won't work:
-rename
layer
ABC
DEF
As every time it arrives at a drawing that doesn't have the ABC layer, it stops to tell me so. I've got around the analogous problem with blocks by using the following script:
(setq oldblockname "POWER")
(setq newblockname "POWER2")
(setq ss1 (ssget "X" (list (cons 2 oldblockname))))
(if ss1 (command "rename" "b" oldblockname newblockname))
but I can't seem to adapt it for layers. I did think of 'making' a layer before attempting to rename it, and this works to a degree, as it doesn't seem to mind if the layer already exists, but unfortunately if the layer ABC isn't present, then DEF is, and it stops to complain that I'm trying to rename a layer to a name that already exists.
I want to know that can I use field option in Rename of Layout tab?
