Problem

Our team was tasked with creating a solution to save time in copied drawings by their names. The client, an architecture firm, had a large number of drawings that needed to be copied and renamed for different projects. This process was taking up a significant amount of time for their employees.

We realized that manually renaming each drawing was not only time-consuming but also prone to human error. The client needed a solution that would automate this process and reduce the risk of errors.

Solution

We developed a Python code that could automatically rename the drawings based on their names. Our team created a script that would search for specific keywords in the file name and replace them with new ones based on user input.

The script was designed to be user-friendly and easy to use. All the user had to do was select the folder containing the drawings, enter the old keyword, and enter the new keyword. The script would then automatically rename all files containing the old keyword with the new one.

Impact

Reduced manual labor by X%
Eliminated human error in renaming process

"This solution has saved us so much time and reduced errors significantly. We couldn't be happier with the results."
