The SmartDrawings, BatchConverter, BatchProperties, ProjectManager, Integration CloneComponents, PowerPrint, SheetMetalManufacturing, andmyCADviewer allow you to rename files generated using the field generation tool.

This tool will allow us to create a filename by retrieving SolidWorks properties, a system variable, or simply by specifying a fixed value.


We'll also be able to concatenate variables to generate a unique name.



Example 1:


Let's take BatchConverter as an example. We want to specify a specific name for the export files that are created.


Configure the name so that it retrieves:

- the file name

- the value of the "Revision" property

- a meter





When we start the export, the tool will generate a STEP file of the 3D model with the specific name we defined:



 






Example 2:


We want to rename all documents from the FindDocument Service database while retaining the references.

To do this, we use FindDocument with a naming convention:



         



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


Here is the result:
