associate a variable with the selection type

graziano.fontolan — Sat, 10 Apr 2021 07:22:24 GMT

Hello,

how can I write the macro below to use it with all entities selected in the explorer?

I know I can copy this macro for the pattern, boundary etc, but probably some of you can be smarter!

FOREACH toolpath IN explorer_selected_entities() {
int s = add_last(EntitiesSelected, $toolpath.Name)

STRING nome = $toolpath.Name

STRING Nomedef = ($nome + $agg)
IF NOT entity_exists('toolpath',$Nomedef) {
RENAME TOOLPATH $nome $Nomedef
} ELSE {
STRING Errore ='Errore rinomina' + crlf + $nome + ' -> ' + $Nomedef
MESSAGE INFO $Errore
RETURN
}
}

Try this:

FOREACH item IN explorer_selected_entities() { STRING NomeDef=$item.Name+$agg IF NOT entity_exists($item.RootType,$NomeDef) { STRING cmd='RENAME ' +$item.RootType +' "' + $item.Name +'" "' + $NomeDef + '"' DoCommand $cmd } ELSE { STRING msg='Errore rinomina '+CRLF+$item.Name+' -> '+$NomeDef MESSAGE ERROR $msg RETURN } }
