Requirements & Auto Name Counters

[chris_]

Hi,

I use for my project the automatic generation from aliases for the requirements... but I have only activated the auto name counters / alias for them after I have already written some one....

Is there a possibility to assign automatically aliases for existing requirements? is there an EA function for that? or there is no over way to do this as doing it manually?  :-/

Thanks

Make a VB Script (scripting window) with something like this:
------------------------------

Dim ThePackage as EA.Package
Dim TheElement as EA.Element
Dim CodReq
Dim i

Set ThePackage = Repository.GetTreeSelectedPackage()
CodReq = 1
For i = 0 to ThePackage.Elements.Count - 1
     Set TheElement = ThePackage.Elements.GetAt(i)
     If TheElement.Type = "Requirement" and TheElement.Alias <> "" Then
          TheElement.Alias = "Req" & CodReq
          TheElement.Update()
          CodReq = CodReq + 1
     End If
Next
msgbox "Requirements updated"
