Renaming for Quality inspection.

[SoniaDesign]

Hi, I need one Macro to change the name of one dimensión selected. I've been using the Handleman's macro and I have modified it to place one value for each view and another for the dimensions, like (1,1), (1,2) ..... (2.1), (2.2), see the attached file. The problem is when I need to run the macro for second time, becuase I have removed or added another dimension, the macro rename all dimensions again!
To avoid this I need to run a second macro to place the name that I need for the new selected dimensions.
Can anyone help me, please?,

Thank you in advance,

…and Good job Handleman.

I would suggest getting away from the macro programs. I am not sure what version of Solidworks your working with but there is a much easier way. You could set up many different scenarios to achieve the same result. Could you explain more as to why you need a macro to do this?

Hi goodguy1405, thank you for the answer,
With modified Handleman´s macro I have found the solution that I need, each dimension has a unique identifier (1,1) (1,2)….. and I can show or hide the IDs

.

The problem is when I need to do a modification on the 3D model and this change is showed in the plane.
When I add a new dimension on the drawing, in one view, I need to pass the macro again to give new ID for that new dimension, but executing the Macro again it renames the rest of the dimensions ID. A dimension must always have the same identifier, it can never be changed.
This is the reason why I need a new Macro to modify the ID of the new selected dimensions without change the old ones.

Thank you.
