Author Topic: Auto Name Counters: Any way to renumber retroactiv (Read 2348 times)

Hi
As a newbie in EA I started adding Requirements without Auto Name Counter enabled. Now I want to renumber them all or selectively without re-editing them all one by one.
Is there any way/hack to renumber elements retroactively?
Couldn't find anything in the forum.

Thanks for your help
W.

AFAIK you cannot do so retroactively.

[edit]But see Simon's post below for a workable solution if you don't mind a little programming effort.[/edit]

Use automation to iterate over your entire model looking for relevant objects, setting the name and iterating the counter. (Then update the auto counter to start from where that finished.)

Thank you.
I will check the automation feature later.
I thought of some export/import (CSV?) workaround, but this seems to be more elegant.
