| 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
- Scans the source folder for all
.slddrw files (root only, no subdirectories)
- 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)
- 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
dotnet run --project ... -- "H:\drawings" "H:\drawings\output" "頂峰" "廠商" "_廠商"

| # | Name | Description |

| 2 | outputFolder | Folder where modified copies are saved (created if not exists) |
| 3 | find | Text to search for (case-sensitive) |
| 4 | replace | Replacement text |

- Only root-level .slddrw files are processed (no subdirectory recursion).
- Drawings with no matching notes are skipped (no copy saved).
