Control Field Renamer Properties

Begin from ID: Enter the numeric value of the first ID in the renaming range.
-
End at ID: Enter the numeric value of the last ID in the renaming range.

To Rename Control Fields
-
Drag the Field Renamer plug-in onto a container. When executing the renaming process, all control plug-ins in that container and all of its child containers are affected.
Tip: To rename all field identifiers of an entire scene, place all containers in the scene inside a parent container and add the Control Field Renamer plug-in to that parent container.
-
Set the range of IDs to be changed in Begin from ID and End at ID.
Note: If the Follow Changes option is set to on, the above two range fields are also changed.
-
Use Padding to set the length for zero padding. Set to zero for no padding.
-
Choose the renaming Method.
-
Click Execute to execute renaming.
