description

"[ActionGroup] Batch replace text inside Note annotations across all SolidWorks drawings (.slddrw) in a specified folder (root only)." For each drawing, opens it silently, finds all Notes containing the search text, replaces every occurrence, saves a copy with a custom suffix to a specified output folder, then closes the original without saving. Reports which files were changed and how many notes were replaced per file. Use when you need to find-and-replace note text across multiple drawings in one shot.

swpilotcli-ActionGroup-replace-notes

Prerequisites

• SolidWorks is running
• Target folder exists and contains .slddrw files

What this Skill does

1. Scans the source folder for all .slddrw files (root only, no subdirectories)
2. For each drawing:
   • Opens it silently
   • Iterates all sheets → views → Note annotations
   • Replaces every occurrence of <find> with <replace>
   • If any notes were changed: saves a copy to the output folder with a filename suffix
   • Closes the drawing without saving (original is untouched)
3. Reports a summary of all modified files

When to use

Use when the user wants to batch-update note text across many drawings in one operation. For single-file note replacement, use swpilotcli-replace-note-text instead.

Quick start

dotnet run --project ./sup_tools/swpilotcli-ActionGroup-replace-notes/scripts/ReplaceNotes/ReplaceNotes.csproj -- "<sourceFolder>" "<outputFolder>" "<find>" "<replace>" "<suffix>"

Examples

# Replace 頂峰 with 廠商, save copies to a subfolder with _廠商 suffix
dotnet run --project ... -- "H:\drawings" "H:\drawings\output" "頂峰" "廠商" "_廠商"

Arguments

#	Name	Description
1	sourceFolder	Folder containing source .slddrw files
2	outputFolder	Folder where modified copies are saved (created if not exists)
3	find	Text to search for (case-sensitive)
4	replace	Replacement text
5	suffix	Filename suffix added before .slddrw extension

Notes

• Original files are never modified.
• Output folder is created automatically if it does not exist.
• Only root-level .slddrw files are processed (no subdirectory recursion).
• Drawings with no matching notes are skipped (no copy saved).
