The tools SmartDrawings, BatchConverter, BatchProperties, ProjectManager, Integration CloneComponents, PowerPrint, SheetMetalManufacturing, myCADviewer can be used to rename files generated using field generation tool.

This tool lets you create a file name by retrieving Solidworks properties, a system variable or simply by defining a fixed value.


We can also concatenate variables to generate a unique name.



Example 1:


Let's take BatchConverter as an example. We want to define a specific name for the export files we create.


We configure the name to retrieve :

- file name

- the value of the "Revision" property

- a meter





We launch the export, and the tool will generate a 3D STEP file with the specific name we've defined:



 






Example 2:


We want to rename all the parts in the FindDocument Service database, keeping the references.

For this we use FindDocument with a naming rule :



         



This rule will allow us to rename files with "initial name forced uppercase" and "-Visiativ".


Here's the result:
