Rename features to numerical order

I was wondering if there was a way to rename features after all features have been created. I like to write my offline programs using individual Auto Vector Points and then I will build features like planes and lines (for example) after everything is created. A common problem I run into is I'll forget to put a point into a certain location. So I'll go back and insert a point where I want but since I've created 30 points after this location the new point I create will not be in numerical order. Is there a way I can tell PC-DMIS to rename all points to numerical order? Hope this makes sense. I've attached a screen shot as an example.

  • As a side note, I'm a bit confused why you want to rename everything in a program, actually why anyone would want to keep the default PLN/LIN/CIR at all.

    Wouldn't it be better to give everything meaningful names from the beginning, coupled to print coordinates, balloon numbers, or anything else that has actual meaning even for the next programmer?
