Find/replace for Civil 3D object descriptions and other text-based fields

Find/replace for Civil 3D object descriptions and other text-based fields

We have started to better document our Civil 3D entity references and it would be helpful to be able to search and replace areas where there are text-based identifiers in Civil 3D objects.  Some examples with surfaces are the CIvil 3D object's description, the breaklines, and the boundaries.

 

We were using the layer name as the identifier for the breaklines and boundaries when the client decided to change the standard we were using for our naming convention, requiring us to track down and rename everything by hand. If there was a search/replace this would have helped save time.

Be good if it worked similar to this autocad app.. which kind of works. Doesn't rename grading groups, but does everything else.

That looks like an interesting program.  Will it rename the components inside a surface definition, such as the names/descriptions given to breakline and boundary groups?

We have added this to our C3DTools package.

Perhaps try the full working 30-day evaluation?
