Change the name of the elements by Script

[utilisateurEA]

Hello,

I’d like to modify by an Addin (a C# script) the name of all my elements. For instance Iwant to try to add “1” at the end of these elements.

I tried something like this

while (i_nbElem < Coll.Count)
{
obj = Coll.GetAt(i_nbElem);
EA.Element All_Elem = (EA.Element)obj;                            
obj.All_Elem.Name.Insert(All_Elem.Name.Length, 1.Tostring() );
i_nbElem++;
}

But it doesn't change anything.
I think I change the name of something which is not the element of EA. But how can I change the name of the element in the model ?

Thank you

you forgot to save the changes using update()

try this:

Code: [Select]

while (i_nbElem < Coll.Count)
{
obj = Coll.GetAt(i_nbElem);
EA.Element All_Elem = (EA.Element)obj;                            
obj.All_Elem.Name.Insert(All_Elem.Name.Length, 1.Tostring() );
ALL_Elem.Update();
i_nbElem++;
}

It does'nt work...

Don't you think the problem is that I make my changes on a cast object whereas directly on my object ?
If I apply my change on my element does it implies automatically that the change will be on the object too ?

Thanks

Maybe like this?

Code: [Select]

while (i_nbElem < Coll.Count)
{
obj = Coll.GetAt(i_nbElem);
EA.Element All_Elem = (EA.Element)obj;                    
All_Elem.name =  obj.All_Elem.Name.Insert(All_Elem.Name.Length, 1.Tostring() );
ALL_Elem.Update();
i_nbElem++;
}
