Our team is looking for some guidance on adding a plugin that will go through each Canvas and append the existing name of the Canvas with a two-digit number. Specifically something like this format ’01.01 - ’ and count up from there. So if we had 6 Canvas’ in the document it would append the name of the 6 Canvas’.
01.01 – Canvas1
01.02 – Canvas2
01.03 – Canvas3
01.04 – Canvas4
01.05 – Canvas5
01.06 – Canvas6
What would be ideal is if we could select the Canvas we need auto-numbers and the starting value of the number. So if I select the first 3 Canvas’ and run the script, it prompts the starting number, I enter ‘1’ it would append the name of the Canvas for JUST the first 3. I select the 2nd half of the document (Canvas 4-6) and run the script and put my starting value as ‘2’. So it would look like this:
01.07 – Canvas1
01.08 – Canvas2
01.09 – Canvas3
02.01– Canvas4
02.02– Canvas5
02.03– Canvas6
I emailed support and they provided this script, which works to rename ALL Canvas’ but not just the Canvas I select. Plus, it doesn’t prompt for a start value, I.e. if I want to start numbers from 02.x or 03.x.
tell application “OmniGraffle”
tell front document
set myCanvases to ( every canvas as list )
repeat with i from 1 to (length of (myCanvases as list ))
set theName to (name of item i of myCanvases) as text
set thePrefix to “01.” as text
if (i is less than 10) then
set thePrefix to (thePrefix & “0”) as text
end if
set thePrefix to (thePrefix & (i as text ))
set theName to ((thePrefix & " - " & theName) as text )
set (name of ( item i of myCanvases)) to theName
end repeat
end tell
end tell
Any tips?
