Renumber/Rename Plots Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to renumber and/or rename plots.

Plot names using the plot style name template (with the plot number property) are updated automatically.

The default Starting Number is inherited from Plot: Next Manual Area Counter on the Numbering tab of the Site Properties dialog box for the site you are working with. After you renumber a set of plots, the site retains the next available number.

Site

Specifies the site in which you are renumbering plots.

Renumber

Specifies whether to renumber the selected plots. The names of the plots may or may not be dynamically changed, depending on the other settings.

Starting Number

Specifies the next number that will be used for the selected plot. If a duplicate number occurs, the current plot’s number and the duplicate plot’s number are swapped.

Increment Value

Specifies the difference between numbers in the sequence.

Use Name Template In Plot Style

Specifies whether the names of the selected plots are obtained from the plot style name template.

Selected: The plot name is (re)set based on the plot style name template.

Cleared: The plot number will change and, depending on the current properties of the selected plot, the plot name may update.

Rename

Specifies whether the selected plots will be renamed.

Specify The Plot Name

Manually enter the plot name. Note that this hard-coded name is no longer the “dynamic” name that updates if plots are renumbered.

Click to open the Name Template dialog box. Select or enter values for the plot name format. The parameters specified are returned and displayed in the Specify The Plot Name field.

Use Name Template In Plot Style

Specifies that the names of the selected plots will be reset using the specified plot style name template.
