Rename Object

Author: John Pollard, auto·des·sys, Inc.
Author's e-mail: support@formz.com

Platform: All
Kind: Script
Type: Utility
Extension Version: 1.0.0.1
Minimum form·Z Version: 5.0.0.0
Updated: 11-30-07

Description: Latest version has been changed to save user preferences. This utility will allow user to rename objects that are preselected or objects that have a common string in the name. Also allows numbers to be appended to the names.

Instructions: Put this script in the "scripts" folder. Either preselect the objects that are to be renamed, or enter the text for the utility to search for. If you only want objects to get selected, uncheck "Replace". If you want sequential numbers to be appended to the name, check the appropriate box. For numbering, if a number of digits it higher than needed for the index in the sequence, those leading digits will be zeros. e.g. 098, 099, 100, ... for 3 digits.
