How to change the varname of a new reference entity for a pre-existing assembly in MotionView 2024?

User: "Vignesh_2508"

Hello everyone, currently I am trying to build a two wheeler model in MotionView 2024 with the help of the reference model provided. When I am adding a new reference entity like point, body, joint etc. I am able to change the label but not able to change the varname. If I try to change, it is showing an error stating that the varname is invalid!(as illustrated in the image). Please guide me in the right direction to resolve this issue. Your feedback on this would be valuable at this stage.

 Thanks & Regards

    Hi @Vignesh_2508,

    For more detailed information as to why that varname is being rejected, you can enable the Message Window (View » Message Window). It will likely reveal a conflict with the varname you are trying to assign.

    If the problem persists, you can likely create the point in a new System, outside of the Perimeter Frame System you have chosen.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi @Vignesh_2508 ,

    The developers restricted users to update variable names in systems that were generated by the assembly wizard (Vehicle Tools). I have brought this up to them to allow access to change the varname for new entities. They are in the process of allowing users to change the varname.

    Until that is resolved. There is a workaround, create the entity outside of the system, edit the varname, cut and paste into the system.

    Best,

    Hi @Vignesh_2508,

    The earliest we could see this update would be for the 2025.1 release of HyperMesh Desktop.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi @Vignesh_2508 ,

    As @GTT Adam said, 2025.1 could be the earliest. If not, then I would expect 2026.0 to have the update.
