api: .name2 just changes in feature tree
i have the following code that i wrote to rename the components in an assembly. when run the code the names change on the feature tree. it appears that the names are not really changing because you can rebuild and they revert back to old names. any ideas what i am doing wrong?
set swapp = createobject("sldworks.application")
swmodel.custominfo2("", "panelnumber") = panelid
boldsetting = swapp.getuserpreferencetoggle_(swextrefupdatecompnames)
'debug.print boldsetting
swapp.setuserpreferencetoggle swextrefupdatecompnames, false
vchildcomparr = swcomp.getchildren
for i = 0 to ubound(vchildcomparr)
set swchildcomp = vchildcomparr(i)
curname = swchildcomp.name2
newname = buildnewname(curname, panelid)
'debug.print newname
bret = swchildcomp.select(false)
'debug.print bret
swchildcomp.name2 = newname
'debug.print swchildcomp.name2
swmodel.custominfo2("", "panelnumber") = panelid
next i
swapp.setuserpreferencetoggle swextrefupdatecompnames,_ boldsetting
