File: Any_Document_Scripts/Replace_Name_Hybrid_Shapes.py
Version: 1.1
Document Type: Part, Product, or Process

A find-and-replace tool for hybrid shape names. Select multiple hybrid shapes, enter a search string and a replacement string, and the script replaces all occurrences of the search string in each shape's name. Shapes whose names do not contain the search string are left unchanged.

1. Open a Part, Product, or Process document containing hybrid shapes
2. Run the script
3. A CATIA selection prompt appears — select all the hybrid shapes you want to process, then click OK
4. A Find and Replace dialog appears:
   • Find what: enter the text to search for
   • Replace with: enter the replacement text
5. Click Replace All
6. All occurrences of the search text in the selected shapes' names are replaced

• The search is case-sensitive
• All occurrences within a single name are replaced, not just the first
• Shapes whose names do not contain the search string are silently skipped
• If a boundary reference (Selection_) is selected instead of the hybrid shape directly, the script renames the parent object
