RENAME

Purpose:

To enable a user to rename a subpicture in the current drawing.

Instructions:

1. The subpicture that is to be renamed can be identified in two ways:

   • by indicating the subpicture with the aid of the screen cursor, and

   • by keying in the name of the subpicture.

2. In order to identify the subpicture by its previously assigned name, it is first necessary to click the Options button. If the drawing contains more than one subpicture with the supplied name then the user must confirm the one that is to be renamed.

3. If the user has identified the subpicture through direct screen interaction he is then required to identify the level of the subpicture that he has selected to rename. Otherwise all levels within the subpicture are automatically selected in order to be subsequently renamed.

4. The system displays the name of the selected subpicture.

5. The user is required to key in the new name for the subpicture and the renamed picture is then stored in the databank.

Options:

There are no other options available within this function.

Result:

The subpicture in the databank is renamed. It is to be noted that system-defined names, such as nodal names, cannot be renamed by this operation.
