Python Batch change layer name case

[Danielm103]

Python, makes Batch processing a bit easier sometimes

 

import traceback
from pyrx import Ap, Db


def capcaseLayers(db: Db.Database):
    lt = Db.LayerTable(db.layerTableId())
    for name, id in lt.toDict().items():
        l = Db.LayerTableRecord(id, Db.OpenMode.kForWrite)
        l.setName(name.upper())


def processDb(fpath: str):
    sdb = Db.Database(False, True)
    sdb.readDwgFile(fpath)
    sdb.closeInput(True)
    capcaseLayers(sdb)
    sdb.saveAs(fpath)

#add new command
@Ap.Command()
def caplayers():
    try:
        for fpath in Ap.Application.listFilesInPath("E:\\temp", ".dwg"):
            processDb(fpath)
    except Exception as err:
        traceback.print_exception(err)

I will investigate this excellent suggestion further! I have Python installed and am learning it now.

The PIP is here ‘pip install cad-pyrx’ https://pypi.org/project/cad-pyrx/, the project is here https://github.com/CEXT-Dan/PyRx

It’s an amalgamation of BRX and ActiveX APIs. There’s some stuff for BIM as well.
