To Rename Control Fields

1. Drag the Field Renamer plug-in onto a container. When executing the renaming process, all control plug-ins in that container and all of its’ child containers are affected.

   Tip: To rename all field identifiers of an entire scene, place all containers in the scene inside a parent container and add the Control Field Renamer plug-in to that parent container.

2. Set the range of IDs to be changed in Begin from ID and End at ID.

   Note: If the Follow Changes option is set to on, the above two range fields are also changed.

3. Use Padding to set the length for zero padding. Set to zero for no padding.

4. Choose the renaming Method.

5. Click Execute to execute renaming.
