Rename Objects tool in 3ds max (2021)

decorix

Hi all.

I been playing with the rename object tool in 3ds max 2021, but I can't seem to get it working my way :-)

I want to do this: MY_mesh_01_LP, MY_mesh_02_LP, MY_mesh_03_LP

The numbering is always after the LP_01

I would like the numbering to take place first and then add the prefix _LP

I'm not sure if this is possible with this tool?  Does anybody know if I might need a better tool/script? thanks decorix

Its because I want to bake in SP and use my _LP prefix

It works if you split this into a two step rename process

* first step is here to append the numbering  ( so the resulting names all end with _01, _02, _03 etc ... )
* next step is adding the _LP suffix , but UNCHECKING the numbered checkbox

Good thing is that the rename dialog is nonmodal and you can change selection etc. ..

Thanks so much SPACEFROG !!!  I'll  go and check it out. I didn't think of doing that way.
