Renaming Styles and Drawing Elements

Use the Rename command to change the names associated with Blocks, Layers, LineStyles, RichLineStyles, TextStyles, TableStyles, DimensionStyles, Custom Coordinate Systems, and views.

For certain drawing entities, standard items cannot be renamed or deleted because the drawing for these types must contain at least one basic item, including the:

• Layer 0
• LineStyles ByBlock, ByLayer, or Continuous
• RichLineStyle Standard
• TextStyle Standard
• TableStyle Standard
• PrintStyle Normal

To rename styles and drawing elements:

1. Click Format > Rename (or type Rename).
2. In the dialog box, navigate to the item to rename and select it.

   You can specify the item to rename directly, by matching name. With the category selected in the list, type or paste the name of the item to rename in the Old name field. The specified item is highlighted in the list.

3. In the empty field, type the new name.
4. Click Rename To.
5. Click Close.
