NumberFeatureByName.vbs

Description

This script gives selected features a name that includes a prefix and sequential numbering in the order that the features were selected starting at a specified number. This is useful for post-processing where the feature name (rather than ID) may be used as a reference for results output, for example in a report.

Instructions

To use the script, first select a series of points, lines, surfaces or volumes. When selecting, hold Shift on the keyboard whilst picking (single left clicking) the geometry features you are selecting. This will add them into selection one by one in the order picked. Then run this script via File>Script>Run Script
