File: Any_Document_Scripts/Swap_Names.py
Version: 1.0
Document Type: Part, Product, or Process
Swaps the names of two selected elements. Useful when rebuilding geometry in a different order or correcting accidentally transposed names without having to remember both names and type them manually.
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Python | >= 3.10 |
| pycatia | >= 0.8.3 |
| Open document | Part, Product, or Process |
- Open a Part, Product, or Process document
- Run the script
- A CATIA selection prompt appears — click the first element
- A second prompt appears — click the second element
- The two names are swapped
- If a boundary reference (
Selection_) is selected instead of the hybrid shape directly, the script swaps the name of the parent object
