Simple Rename script - needs work by anyone interested...

There was a question in another part of the forum for a way to rename features in program order. I found the source code of an old EditFeat.VB script in my archives, and have stripped anything VB6 from it, to make [the beginnings] of a script that can run in PC-DMIS Basic.

As it stands now, it renames all POINTS, LINES, CIRCLES, PLANES, CYLINDERS, and SPHERES - hardwired three letter name plus an incrementing number according to the type. It should be straightforward to remove unwanted parts of the script, or add blocks for other feature types. It should also be relatively easy to add a dialog and do selective renaming, but all that is left as exercises for the reader...


Sub Main

'  This is a program which goes through the entire current program And renames features
'      by their Type And also With an increment according To
'      the relative position In the part program.

    Set App = CreateObject("PCDLRN.Application")

          Cmd.ID = NewId
          CircNum = CircNum + 1

          Cmd.ID = NewId
          PlaneNum = PlaneNum + 1
        End If
        If Cmd.Feature = F_CYLINDER Then
          NewId = "CYL" & CylinderNum
          Cmd.ID = NewId
          CylinderNum = CylinderNum + 1
        End If
        If Cmd.Feature = F_SPHERE Then
          NewId = "SPH" & SphereNum
          Cmd.ID = NewId
          SphereNum = SphereNum + 1
