Dendecko Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 This has been likely asked but I couldn't figure out how to search for it. I'm in a situation where across multiple devices I need to change a large number of sockets to have a new label. Is there an efficient way to do this either a find and replace from selection, or a data entry worksheet view where I would be able to change the labels on multiple sockets at once and see the change in my drawing take effect?

Dendecko Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 @Conrad Preen Worksheet report didn't update data upstream unless there is an extra step. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted March 17, 2023 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 17, 2023 @Dendecko It does work, I just tried it now. You'll just need to include the Socket.tag parameter in your report and you'll have to change both the Name and Tag. The reason Devices and Sockets have separate name and display tag parameters is because on drawings you need to save space while in reports and lists you need longer more descriptive naming because you don't have the visual context.
