Ben3B Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Hello is a way to use select similar tool by device name , I dont find that criterion in the select similar setting... May there is an another way to achieve what I want... So I want to select all the same device with the same name to use the renumber tool to give a unique name to all the same device . Thanks !!!!

Ben3B Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) So I think I'll put each same device on a specific class, and use the select similar tool by class 🙂 But for now I have another problem, when I import a device from my library it doesn't import the class... , I think this is because of the non style compatible... Have an idea ? Edited March 11, 2022 by Ben59 Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted March 11, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 11, 2022 Hello all, You can always use Tools->Custom Selection menu command and then select to create a Vector/Python script from the command. Then you will be able to execute exactly the same operation using that script. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov 2 Quote Link to comment
