On this page
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
Changes the name of old_name to new_name. This will also change any references to old_name that may occur in other combinations in the database. If the -f variation of the command is used, all old_name new_name pairings are read from the mapping_file and processed as previously stated. The -n flag returns all groups that will be affected if the command were run but without changing the name, essentially running a db find on the old_name.
EXAMPLES
Example 1. Change the name of an object everywhere it occurs in the database.
mged>mvall shapea shapeb
Changes the name of shapea to shapeb everywhere it occurs in the database.
Example 2. This example shows a simple mapping file.
# this line is a comment old_name new_name foo bar # another comment, replacing foo with bar bad_name good_name
