Renaming parts

To rename parts and correct references to those parts, you can use the refactoring function of the workbench.

To rename a part:

  1. Select the part to rename by using one of the following methods:
    • In the EGL editor, place the cursor on the part name and right-click.
    • In either the Outline, Parts List, or Parts Reference view, right-click the part.
    • For generatable parts, in the Project Explorer view, right-click the file that contains the part.
  2. In the popup menu, click Refactor > Rename. The Rename window opens.
  3. In the Rename window, type a new name for the part; remember to follow EGL naming conventions.
  4. To view a list of the changes that EGL will make if you proceed, click Preview.

  6. Click OK.
