08. Renumbering the manholes and pipelines

Introduction

In my work, I always use the past Civil3d template to continue my design, hence the initial number of some objects are usually high, for example, manholes and pipelines. What is worse, sometimes I would delete some of them, hence their names are not continuous.

Hence, I write a plugin to rename the object. It should be a easy job, I just

SOME CODE

        [CommandMethod("RenameWW")]
        public static void RenameWWPipes()
        {
            Editor ed = Helper.Ed();
            CivilDocument civilDoc = CivilApplication.ActiveDocument;
            using (Transaction tr = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.
                Database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
            {

                ObjectId partId = PipeNetworks.PromptForPart("Please select one of the structures or pipes in targeted Network: ");
                if (partId != ObjectId.Null)
                {
                    //Select one part of the target netowrk
                    Part part = tr.GetObject(partId, OpenMode.ForRead) as Part;
                    ObjectId netWorkId = part.NetworkId;

                    //Get the object of the network by object id
                    Network oNetwork = tr.GetObject(netWorkId, OpenMode.ForWrite) as Network;
                    ObjectIdCollection pipeIds = oNetwork.GetPipeIds();

                    int count = 1;
                    foreach (ObjectId pipeId in pipeIds)
                    {
                        // get the pipe objects  and rename them
                        Pipe pipe = tr.GetObject(pipeId, OpenMode.ForWrite) as Pipe;
                        String name1 = string.Format("LOT{0} WW", count); ;
                        pipe.Name = name1;
                        count += 1;
                    }
                }

                tr.Commit();
            }
        }
