I have hundreds of Civil 3D structures that I would like to rename. By 'dumping' the AECC_STRUCTURE object I can see the 'DisplayName' property, which is read only, and the 'Name' property.
I have no issues writing to, and updating, the name property. Everything thing seems to work but I'm a bit paranoid that it was too easy and am concerned about dealing serious damage to our Pipe Networks.
Does anyone have insight into this process or a way to verify that I won't do any damage?
Here's the framework:
; Rename structures based on description
(vl-load-com)
(defun NDS_renameStrcs ( / )
(setq mlist (ssget "X" '((0 . "AECC_STRUCTURE"))))
(setq i 0)
(repeat (sslength mlist)
(setq STRC (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname mlist i)))
(setq strIn (vlax-get-property STRC 'Name))
(if (= (vlax-get-property STRC 'Description) "[CODE]")
; Do Work
(progn
;[CODE]
)
)
(setq i (+ i 1))
)
(princ)
)
