Renaming datums

[Kuranes]

Hello everyone!
I worked with Pro/E for 4
years till now (WF2/3/4 Intralink_3.3/Windchill_9) and although
registered to the forum since '06 I only lurked to find useful tips.
Now I want to partecipate a bit more (more than nothing at least).

Unfortunately
what I have to start is a question. Is there a way
to name or rename datums, in my case datum points, in a progressive
manner?
Points by default are named PNTn with n from 0 onward, but I
need to name them in series like An, Bn, etc. for many patterns created
along curves.
Then I'll make a table in the drawing to describe those curves with Cartesian coordinates.
The
parts will be milled and for that I'll send STEP files and equations of
the said curves, but I have to document with drawings also to test them.

I searched in the help but I found only something on ModelCHECK analysis, that I have never used.
What I'm doing now is rename (edit > setup > name feature) every single point in the model tree like a monkey would do.

Best Regards.

Create a mapkey that goes thru the motions of naming. Use the find tool to select your point. Then duplicate the lines in the mapkey and change the names in the mapkey. (Use excel to edit quickly) Make sense?

Thank you!
I should have thought that but I use the mapkeys rarely (unfortunately).

how can you do it on pro/E wildfire 5.0?

Hi Sagi, I replied to your email.
But it is only a simple mapkey edited with excel, tell me if it's OK.
