Hello everyone,
I am working on replacing all the genies of a certain type in a project while changing certain parameters contained within them. I am using the automation interface.
The goal is to check each page in the project for instances of the old genie. I achieved this by giving them a metadata property "TipoUpgrade" which tells me they are the ones to be replaced (please tell me if there is a simpler way to do this). Afterwards, what I want to do is read the parameters in the genie, store them and delete the old genie. Then, after modifying certain aspects in these values, I want to instance the new genie in the same position as the old one and write the adequate parameters to the corresponding fields. So far what I have is this:
Note that the parameters in the old and new genies are NOT the same. I will use the parameters I read from the old genie to search for the appropriate ones for the new genie in another document.
Thank you for your attention!
