Force renumber all items (autonumbering)

Hi,
autonumbering seems to work ok, but you need to reopen the project again on order to see it...

Is there a plan to implement renumbering feature?

Cheers,

Jan

In this video example I change formula, but in your case you need filter by element name, I think you need to write a script for it, find, sed, etc.

Nice, I try it tomorrow.

It's a good start, but it's going to be very complicated if you want to renumerate an entire project following rules, I think. 

The most difficult is to respect a sequence of re numbering left to right and from top to bottom.

OK, your awk is in different location... then you can use it as before, with direct awk call. 

I'm thinking about solving the issue of numbering from left to right + from up to down and it would need me to parse whole xml and do really, really a lot of stuff... I'm afraid this is no way, no quick solution for the moment. Giving up

Hi,
so I did not really gave up and tried a XML framework for python - as parse whole XML in awk is insane. (It is installed in my OpenSuse as default, hope other distributions have it too).

Usage

python xmlparse.py -i xmltest.qet -o xmltest_renumbered.qet

and result should be renumbered all "ten"s and "hundred"s according to the prefix and position in schematics from top down and left right manner. Items without these tags are ignored.

It actually does only this and nothing else, it does not care at all about any formulas etc.

This is definitely enough for me now - hope somebody find it also useful and perhaps add additional functionality as I really do not have needed skills in Python.

Cheers,
Jan.

Hi,

Thank you for your script Jan, it was definitely useful for me. I modified it a little bit according to my needs, I have numbering configurations with text with more than 1 letter, and the prefix was different (only the first letter of the label). This script renumbers all the elements in the project that have a label in the element information, overlooking the prefix. So the elements are organized according to the label, also is only for units, but I think it can be easily modified for tens and hundreds. Also, it changes the sequential number, the element information, and the dynamic text, so when you export the components list the label and the formula are the same (if it had a formula in the beginning).

Usage

python xmlparse_unit.py -i xmltest.qet -o xmltest_renumbered.qet

I hope somebody finds this useful as well.

Hi Paulius,

Do the old elements have any labels already? or are they without label?

Hi Paulius,

From what I saw your old elements don´t have the same prefix as the new elements (KM1, KM2, KM3). The script posted previously won't renumber those old elements as they do not have the same prefix. I have been working on the script, adding some functionalities, I will post about this later, but for the time this might help you.

I made an example emulating what you posted. I relabeled the elements (OLD, VERYOLD). The element's name is:embed://import/10_electric/fabricantes/controladores_visualizadores/pixsys/atr142-abc.elmt and the prefix I want to use is KM.

Usage:

python xmlrenumber.py -i TEST.qet -o TEST_vr.qet -s8 -e atr142-abc.elmt -p KM

This will number the elements with the name 'atr142-abc.elmt' with a prefix different to KM. This only works with the formaula text+number.

Notice they won´t be numbered with the elements in the order of position x,y. If you want to organize them, then use: python xmlrenumber.py -i TEST_vr.qet -o TEST_vr.qet -s4

You might need to install lxml to run the script https://lxml.de/installation.html

Hope this helps.
