Modifying Bar Section Labels?

[Anonymous]

I am trying to modify many bar section labels. (For example: changing all labels from HSRE to HSS in order to match the AISC Steel Manual)

I have all the desired member sizes grouped in the label manager, and am pretty sure that the label manager file is "labelmng.rtl" (path is "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 20XX\CfgUsr").

Does anyone know how I can modify these labels? Is the solution editing that file somehow? I would really prefer a solution that doesn't require going into Robot and changing every bar section label one member at a time.

Thanks!

You should have done it this way:

Now: rename one by one or by API

Thank you for the hasty reply.

Is there any way to have Robot default to those labels? What if I need to load multiple sections at one time?

Look at my video.
If you select HSS... in Label field then program will remember your selection and HSS will be automatically in the Section list
