Renaming Spatial Objects
The Rename tool enables you to rename a range of objects with the same name or a shared portion of text. For example, you could change the name of every object containing the text Floor 1 in its name to First Floor instead. Rename is case-sensitive. It is not limited to whole object names, but will also rename portions of text within names that match the Replace text. For example, replacing First with Second will result in an object called First Floor Entrance being renamed to Second Floor Entrance.
