My goal is to automate the process of creating name selections for each block in the grid. Ideally, I&rsquo;d like to name each block according to its position, for example, &ldquo;Row_Column&rdquo; format (e.g., &ldquo;1_1&rdquo;, &ldquo;1_2&rdquo;, etc.). &nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/05-09-2024-1725568120-ANSYS_Q.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1270\" height=\"809\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have tried using the script editor to create name selections, but the problem is that I still have to manually click each area to define the selection. This becomes impractical when dealing with thousands of blocks. &nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Has anyone successfully automated this process, or is there a way to programmatically select these blocks in bulk using a script?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Any guidance or suggestions would be much appreciated!&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-381680","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-automation","topic-tag-batch-processing-1","topic-tag-named-selection","topic-tag-named-selection-problem","topic-tag-named-selections","topic-tag-scriptspaceClaim-1","topic-tag-spaceclaim"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["67660","202"],"_bbp_author_ip":["150.135.165.15"],"_btv_view_count":["828"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["381680"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_engagement":["202","67660"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["382522"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["382522"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-09-12 17:14:31"]},"test":"0858a84a6d520eaf5f00458729d04fca7d9ea884"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/381680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/381680\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
