MV(nged)
Changes the name of old_name to new_name.
π MV(nged) β the rename-your-stuff glow-up
Okay bestie, welcome to the MV(nged) page from the BRL-CAD User Commands era β it's short, it's sweet, and it does exactly one thing. Let's get into it β¨
π NAME
mv β changes the name of old_name to new_name. That's it. That's the whole job. Iconic, honestly. π
β¨ SYNOPSIS
mv {old_name new_name}
πΈ DESCRIPTION
So here's the vibe: mv changes the name of old_name to new_name. Simple. Clean. A little makeover for your object. π
β οΈ But listen β and this is the important part, so don't scroll past it β it does not change any references to old_name that may appear in other combinations in the database. So those references just sit there, still calling your object by its old name like they didn't get the memo. π
If you want the full send β renaming an object everywhere β that's the mvall command. mvall is the one that changes an object's name everywhere, no cap. π
π¦ EXAMPLES
The example shows the use of the mv command to change an object's old_name to a new_name. Fr fr, that's what it's for.
Example 1. Change an object's name.
mged>mv shapea shapeb
Changes the name of shapea to shapeb. Slay. π
