File: Process_Document_Scripts/Rename_Operations_From_Tool_Name.py
Version: 1.0
Document Type: CATProcess

Cycles through all manufacturing programs in the active process document and renames each operation to match the name of the tool assigned to it via the preceding tool change. Duplicate operation names within the same program are disambiguated by appending an incrementing number. Keeps the process tree readable and consistent.

1. Open a CATProcess document in CATIA
2. Run the script — no user input is required
3. All operations are renamed and a count of renames is printed to the console

Before:

Program.1
 ToolChange (10mm Ball Nose)
 Sweeping.1
 Sweeping.2
 ToolChange (6mm Ball Nose)
 Sweeping.3

After:

Program.1
 ToolChange (10mm Ball Nose)
 10mm Ball Nose.1
 10mm Ball Nose.2
 ToolChange (6mm Ball Nose)
 6mm Ball Nose.1

• Requires pycatia >= 0.9.5
• Operations with no preceding tool change are left unchanged
• The tool name used is taken from the resource assigned to the tool change, with any extra information in brackets stripped
• The numbering suffix resets for each new program
