Hello everyone;

Would you know a trick/macro/routine or anything else... which will allow me to "clean" my creation tree at the level of sketch/constraint/function counters...
Let me explain: I have been dragging around for several years now parts and assemblies that I modify at leisure (I add constraints, change sketches, delete them, create new ones etc...)
In the creation tree, each new sketch/function or constraint increments with a higher number each time.
Is there a way to "go down" these increments to the lowest level:
Find a tree in the form:
Sketch1
sketch2...
Rather than:
Sketch1253
Sketch2014...
Just like it's my home right now. (well, what)

Thank you for the help you can give me.

Hello, it's quite possible with a macro. Do you know VBA programming?

To rename a sketch (e.g. the active sketch), it is the statement:

Set swSketch = swModel. GetActiveSketch2

Set swFeat = swSketch

' Change the name of the open sketch to CircleSketch

swFeat. Name = "CircleSketch"

See this link:

http://help.solidworks.com/2012/English/api/sldworksapi/Rename_Active_Sketch_Example_VB.htm

Which you will have to combine with an instruction to cross the entire construction tree, see this link:

Note: we can also take inspiration from the macro available here:

Well no, I'm not very comfortable in VBA, I had already found to rename the sketches but where I get stuck is the zeroing of the counters and then increment them by 1...

If there were only the sketches, it would be playable (even by hand) but I wanted to include the functions and constraints too.

So you've done the hardest part! For the meter this is the easiest part! Post your code here and I'll help you.

By filling several bits with codes gleaned right and left, I have this... that doesn't work and is incomplete:

See attached document.

Note: Are there tags to post a code? Because the restriction to 6000 characters is not convenient.

Note:

For me, it would be an interesting tool to integrate into axemble's "TreeManager".... (2012 and/or 2014 versions)
