Rename Browser Nodes

The Rename Browser Nodes command provides the means to identify all component nodes within an assembly using one of three naming schemes:

• Filename

  Resets any component browser node that was renamed manually to display using the file name of the component. A numerical sequence identification number replaces the occurrence identification number.

• Part Number

  Replaces the default or file name with the part number defined in the component iProperties. By default, the Part Number iProperty is initially populated with the Filename string. Therefore, this option is most useful after you set the Part Number property for each component. Components that have no defined part number attribute report <Missing Data> as the browser node name. A numerical sequence identification number replaces the occurrence identification number.

• Default

  Returns the component browser node name and occurrence identification to the default file name.
