Replace text

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

Good morning

I need to replace a chain of a few texts and annotation points.

EXAMPLE:
I have the following texts and points:

A-TG-H-XXXXXXXX

Where XXXXXX are numbers different in each case.

I need to change both the texts and points: A-TG-H - by of B-YH-J-
that everything stays as it is: B-YH-J-XXXXXXXX

But I can’t find option to replace in Rhino v5.

Can you help me?
Thank you!

FindText is what you are looking for.
It will select all instances or one-by-one.
If you want to apply some sort of process automation I’d recommend Grasshopper.

hi,

there is a script writen by @dale , it runs in V5 i used it a while ago. Runing it was a bit hard for me but i will share how i made it run (not sure if its the easy way)

1- copy the text from site
2- create a text file then open it > paste what you have copied from the site > save (i named my file as “replacetext.rvb”)
3- open rhino
4-type "loadscript"
5- click "Add"
6- Find your replacetext.rvb file and sellect it. in the same window click “Load” then "Close"
7- type “Runscript” in the new window sellect replacetext script and click "OK"
8- it will ask you what to search for and what to replace with and if the search is case sensitive.

regards

Dusting off an old thread…

Has anyone got a copy of the ReplaceText.rvb that’s linked to earlier in this conversation? The link’s dead now and I can’t find similar on google.

Edit: Just found it, here:
