Rename subclass with SKILL

mir0mik

Hi,

Could someone help me, give me some pointers on how to rename user-defined subclass by SKILL?

I know how to add/remove subclasses by SKILL, but I can not figure out how to rename them (it is possible to rename them "manualy" so I suppose it is also possible by SKILL).

Thanks!

    Sucht approach should also work. However you need to do more coding to get all elements from one to another sclass.

    Only change layer change api i'm aware of is the axlChangeLayer()

    However I'm not sure about  if this can correctly move all objects to another layer, including properties, parent (when assigned) and groupparent (if grouped).

    If the sclass only contain a few items then this way should go fast.

    But if a sclass has a lot of elements (like a dxf import or so) then it can take some time, perhaps more than just running a script file...

    I've tested it yesterday and there is one problem - If you have a symbol that has some geometry (lines) in one subclass and you use axlChangeLayer() and convert everything to a new subclass and you want to delete the old subclass it will remember that the symbol has definitions in that layer and will prevent the deletion so this probably won't work...
