Option at the part list, cutting list, board list to search for text and replace it
For example, a part code, part quantity or material.
At the Part list or Board list screen:-
● Make sure the cursor is located in the main grid of data
● Select: Edit - Replace <Ctrl H>
● Enter text to locate
● Enter the replacement text
To carry on with the replace (one item at a time):-
● Select [ Replace ] button
By default the replace is for the current column - the options are:-
Current column
Current row
Whole list
The replace applies to all columns and includes any 'information box' fields. It also includes any hidden fields. When using 'Current row' or 'Whole list' it is best to temporarily turn on any hidden fields to avoid any unintended changes.
Other options:-
Up / Down - choose the direction of the search
Match whole word only - (e.g. does not look for 'White' in 'Whiteboard')
Match case - check box if the case in search text is significant
Replace all - change all the occurrences found
Find Next - move to the next item
If the text cannot be found the replace fails and the cursor stays in the current location.
Global row
Where an item is set in the global row only the global row can be located and replaced. Greyed out rows cannot be searched.
The search only searches from the location of the cursor.
Replace all
When the ‘Replace all’ option has finished it displays a confirmation message.
‘Replace all finished’
- Select OK to close the dialog
The ‘Replace All’ option depends on the Part list / Board List parameter: Default grain from material library
If this parameter is checked the value in the grain column is also changed to match the value for the grain from the Board library – for any materials that were replaced.
