I have a procedure that saves (SaveAs) and Replaces parts as I design. I'm free to modify parts after one button click. Each new part is assigned a temporary number that begins with the user name, an underscore, and a sequence of numbers (001, 002, etc.).
Here's my problem. When the design is finished I will select all parts in my assembly that begin with username and assign them real numbers based on and furnished by our ERP software. What is the best way to select them? Should I use a selection filter and string manipulation, or should I pull a list from the BOM and loop through it?
Thanks,
Jon
