Nitro-PROGRAM, Renaming Features - Video 2

Overview​

This video continues the feature renaming topic, covering additional scenarios and techniques for managing feature names in Pro/PROGRAM using Nitro-PROGRAM. It builds on Video 1 and addresses more complex situations such as renaming features that appear in multiple IF-ENDIF blocks, handling features with dependencies, and batch-renaming multiple features at once. The video demonstrates how Nitro-PROGRAM tracks all occurrences of a feature name across the entire program structure, ensuring that renaming operations are complete and consistent. Engineers learn strategies for maintaining clean, well-named programs as models evolve.

Key Steps​

  1. Open a model with a complex Pro/PROGRAM containing multiple feature references
  2. Identify features that appear in multiple locations within the program
  3. Use Nitro-PROGRAM to rename features and update all references simultaneously
  4. Handle features with dependencies that require coordinated renaming
  5. Write the program and verify all renamed features regenerate correctly

Tips​

  • Always verify that renamed features match the actual model tree names exactly
  • Use batch renaming when updating multiple related features to save time
  • Review the entire program after renaming to catch any missed references
