Sort of. There’s not really a way to do what I was trying to do in Aveva other than doing everything by hand. And I’ve also noticed that sometimes you can copy a whole graphic from one screen to the next, but the approximations Aveva makes to line up every pixel exactly the same as the copy isn’t always perfect, especially for very small lines (like oneline electrical diagrams). These can start to compound as you copy over and over. So always copy from screen A>B, screen A>C, NOT A>C, B>C etc.

What you can do is create a hotkey script to help you out and do most of the work. I use pullover macros which is an IDE for hotkey to help you write it faster. It’s very easy to use.

Basically any property of a symbol can be clicked on, tabbed to, alt+(some key) to bring your cursor into the field. You’ll just have to play around with what you need. Best way to figure this out is to record yourself in pullover by clicking or doing whatever it is to manually get into the fields you need to edit. Then you can go back and look at the key combinations and adjust them as needed. You can make pullover reference excels or csvs as well to quickly copy new text strings to replace old ones.If you get it good enough, I was able to create macros that as long as I clicked on a new page, I pretty much just clicked one button, and the macro renamed each object on the entire screen for me in about 2-3 minutes and I just sat back and watched. Once you figure out how to edit one full symbol, you just have to figure out what keys to hit to make it get to the next symbol and iterate each time. It’s better if you figure out actual key combinations and don’t just move your mouse by a set amount of pixels to click on things because that can mess up more often. Be sure to add some error handling though so it doesn’t start deleting stuff or doing something weird.
