Rename rule - assembly, subassembly, part and drawing

[ralfmja]

Hello,

I ask you in advance not to offer me Vault solutions, ilogic design copy etc. 😀

I will describe my problem below:

When I finish my project (documentation ready) I have to rename files both in terms of models (ipt, iam) and drawings (idw).   I adopted a certain scheme of action and I do it with the help of Design Assistant. Unfortunately, this tool is quite crude and when my project has a lot of elements (e.g. 500) it takes about 3-4 hours.

MODEL BROWSWER AFTER FINISCH DOCUMENTATIONFOLDER BROWSWER BEFORE USE DADA BEFORE USE DADA AFTER MANUAL CHANGE NAME & PART NAMEFOLDER BROWSWER AFTER USE DA

short legend:

green dots - items that require changing the part number and file name

pink dot - shopping items - the rule omits them at all 

red dot - reference elements - the rule omits them at all

33_33333 - common number for the entire project - I would like to enter it after enabling the rule.

0001 - next part number (ipt file)

B000 - Bxxx - next assy number (iam file)

Of course, the current file names are completely random (for the purposes of the description I named them one after another, i.e.PART1, PART2, SUBASSY etc.)

Unfortunately, I do not have enough programming knowledge but if someone would lead me by the hand - I think I could do it ... 

Can anybody help me with that ?? 

In attachment you can find file which you can see on picture.

Thanks for answer,

I actually just forgot about it... the last time I looked at it though it was pretty time intensive as far as testing.... is there anyway you can work with your data set to isolate the issue to a smaller number of files?

Thanks for quick answer @Curtis_Waguespack ,

Unfortunately, I have a problem with isolating elements in such a way that the same problems are revealed as with such a large assembly ...

If you find time, please help ... 

Many thanks in advance
