Renumber Panel
Use the Renumber panel to renumber entities. You may also enter a value by which to offset the IDs of entities.
Location: Organize menu bar
When the ID to be assigned to an entity is already assigned to another entity, HyperWorks adds the increment to the ID until a unique ID is found. Because of this, it may be necessary to move the entities out of the way by initially renumbering all of the entities starting with a large ID, and then renumber again with the desired IDs.
