Renaming components using properties

The Autodesk Inventor link provides a command named Rename Components on the shortcut menu when an assembly is selected. You can use this command with a Meridian property to rename the components shown in the Autodesk Inventor Model pane. This can be useful if want to see more meaningful names than the Autodesk Inventor file names.

The name may use the following syntax:

<Prefix><PropertyValue><Suffix>

This command is cleared unless the name elements have been configured by a system administrator. The feature may also be configured to automatically rename components when they are either opened or saved. Consult a system administrator for the name of the property and other details of how the naming standard is configured. The Meridian property that will be used in the names must already exist and contain non-empty values.

To rename the components of an assembly:

1. In the Model pane of Autodesk Inventor, right-click the assembly that you want to rename. the Autodesk Inventor link shortcut menu appears.
2. Select BlueCielo Rename Components. All nodes in the selected assembly are renamed according to the configuration of the command.
