How to change material name in a model using Weblink?

The property Name of the class pfcMaterial is read only.

It is possible to change material name in weblink or JLink?

You can use session.RunMacro()

 

~ Command `ProCmdMmEditMaterial@PopupMenuTree` ;
~ Update `material_definition` `MtrlNameInput` `<your_new_name>`;
~ Activate `material_definition` `MtrlOKPush`;

 

just make sure your material is selected (in selection buffer) - this can be done by user or programically

I have not found any GetName or similar method for Material interface nor for WMaterial so I suppose macro is the only option, but you can still ask ptc supoort
