Replace button/label text

[Gary.Johnson 0]

Got a project with 100+ screens and the supplier wasn't a very good speller. I need to correct a spelling error on 1200+ buttons and labels. I've read thorugh the CX-Designer help file and manual and can't find a search/replace for text, only addresses and tags. Am I looking in the wrong place or did Omron actually forget to include this?

It looks like there isn't a replace function. The only thing I see is a find function for labels

The easiest thing to do (and it is not as simple as you would like) is to select all objects on a page and right click and choose Edit Properties. This will allow you to edit all of the text for all of the objects on one page at one time. It will require that you go page by page however. I guess that they figure that you will likely not have large quantities of the same word in many objects and therefore did not make a replace function for labels. That is the only logical explanation that I can see.

I think this should work also. Export, fix text, import

Great suggestion!

Why didn't I think of that?
