script for points

The document outlines the requirements for creating a Python node in a Dynamo script for Civil 3D to rename COGO points based on specified inputs. It details the input format for existing COGO points, the naming conventions for points to be renamed, and the expected output after renaming while maintaining the original order. Additionally, it explains how to handle duplicate names and ensure the final output list reflects the necessary changes while preserving the original sequence of handles.

I'm working on a Dynamo script for Civil 3D, and I need your help to create a

Python node that does the following:

1.It should take as input a LIST of existing COGO points with the HANDLES as
KEYS and the NAME of the points as VALUES, NOT A DICTIONARY.

2.It should allow me to input a string specifying the COGO points I want to
RENAME. If it's a single point, I'll write just one (e.g., sp05), and if there are
multiple points, I'll use a sequence (e.g., sp12-sp15).

3.Another input should allow me to enter a string specifying the new NAMES
that will replace the points mentioned in step 2 (e.g., sp03-sp06).

For example, if I need to rename multiple points from the INPUT LISTS, which
contains the following:

208CCD9 -> sp05

208CE2A -> sp13

208CE2B -> sp14

208CDDC -> sp06

208CCD8 -> sp04

208CCD7 -> sp03

208CCD6 -> sp02

208CCD5 -> sp01

208CDDD -> sp07

208CDDE -> sp08

208CDDF -> sp09

208CDE0 -> sp10

208CDE1 -> sp11

208CE29 -> sp12


208CE2C -> sp15

I should replace the following NAMES/VALUES: [sp12, sp13, sp14, sp15] with
[sp03, sp04, sp05, sp06] as mentioned in steps 2 and 3. Resulting in
something like this:

208CCD9 -> sp05

208CE2A -> sp13 -> sp04

208CE2B -> sp14 -> sp05

208CDDC -> sp06

208CCD8 -> sp04

208CCD7 -> sp03

208CCD6 -> sp02

208CCD5 -> sp01

208CDDD -> sp07

208CDDE -> sp08

208CDDF -> sp09

208CDE0 -> sp10

208CDE1 -> sp11

208CE29 -> sp12 -> sp03

208CE2C -> sp15 -> sp06

But to make the exercise simple you can ordered the values list like [sp01,
sp02, sp03, sp04, sp05, sp06, sp07, sp08, sp09, sp10, sp11, sp12, sp13,
sp14, sp15]

However, since duplicate values [NAMES] are not allowed, the values from
the original list that were not modified should be renamed as well except for
those values minor to the input sp03 in this case. The remaining points
[sp03, sp04, sp05, sp06, sp07, sp08, sp09, sp10, sp11] will become [sp07,
sp08, sp09, sp10, sp11, sp12, sp13, sp14, sp15].

208CCD5 -> sp01 -> sp01

208CCD6 -> sp02 -> sp02

208CCD7 -> sp03 -> sp07

208CCD8 -> sp04 -> sp08

208CCD9 -> sp05 -> sp09

208CDDC -> sp06 -> sp10

208CDDD -> sp07 -> sp11

208CDDE -> sp08 -> sp12

208CDDF -> sp09 -> sp13

208CDE0 -> sp10 -> sp14

208CDE1 -> sp11 -> sp15

208CE29 -> sp12 -> sp03

208CE2A -> sp13 -> sp04

208CE2B -> sp14 -> sp05

208CE2C -> sp15 -> sp06

Assume like the values we replace [sp12,sp13,sp14,sp15] for [sp03, sp04,


sp05, sp06] were moved after the sp02 in the original values sorted, like this
[sp01, sp02, [values replaced = sp03, sp04, sp05, sp06], sp03, sp04, sp05,
sp06, sp07, sp08, sp09, sp10, sp11] so that is why you have to change from
sp03 to sp11 in order to get continuation, like this [sp01, sp02, [values
replaced= sp03, sp04, sp05, sp06], sp07, sp08, sp09, sp10, sp11, sp12,
sp13, sp14, sp15]

208CCD5 -> sp01 -> sp01


208CCD6 -> sp02 -> sp02

208CE29 -> sp12 -> sp03

208CE2A -> sp13 -> sp04

208CE2B -> sp14 -> sp05

208CE2C -> sp15 -> sp06

208CCD7 -> sp03 -> sp07

208CCD8 -> sp04 -> sp08

208CCD9 -> sp05 -> sp09

208CDDC -> sp06 -> sp10

208CDDD -> sp07 -> sp11

208CDDE -> sp08 -> sp12

208CDDF -> sp09 -> sp13

208CDE0 -> sp10 -> sp14

208CDE1 -> sp11 -> sp15

But The final output list of NAMES should maintain the original order base on
the HANDLES mentioned above, while only replacing the necessary values,
resulting in:

208CCD9 -> sp09

208CE2A -> sp04

208CE2B -> sp05

208CDDC -> sp10

208CCD8 -> sp08

208CCD7 -> sp07

208CCD6 -> sp02


208CCD5 -> sp01

208CDDD -> sp11

208CDDE -> sp12

208CDDF -> sp13

208CDE0 -> sp14

208CDE1 -> sp15

208CE29 -> sp03

208CE2C -> sp06
