Renaming Datums

 

The ability to rename alignment items allows you to clarify the intended use of a specific Datum. When copying Datums, RevWorks supplies a default name that identifies the Datum as a copy of a specific existing Datum that you are likely to want to modify.

To Rename a Datum

  1. Access Alignment Manager

  2. Right click on the Datum item you wish to rename.

The Datum options pop-up menu appears.

  1. Select Rename, or if the Datum is already highlighted, left click on the Datum name.

The name of the Datum becomes an editable field.

  1. Change the name.

  2. Press the Enter Key, or
    Left click on any area outside the edit field.

The edit field disappears and the name change is completed.

    Note: Datum names must be unique.
