Rename files with the 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:
