After adding dozens of tables to the Entities group I realized I didn't change the abbreviation from ID to Id. So I want to go back and re-add all my tables again so this rule is applied.

The problem I cannot figure out where in the designer I can force the tables to be re-added or mass updated again so all the fields get renamed.

So I figured, I would just delete all the tables and start over but that also seems to be a problems as LLBLGen only allows me to delete 1 table at a time.

Is there a quick way to re-add or refresh all the existing Entities or do I have to manually delete them 1 at a time.

You can set "SyncRenamedFieldElementsAfterRefresh" and "SyncMappedElementNamesAfterRefresh" to true in the project properties and refresh the catalog - this should force all mapped field names to then re-sync with the database.

If you do need to remove and re-add tables the it is one at a time - sorry about that.

When I set those two options to TRUE it ignores the EntityFieldNameStripPattern. So now all my fields are set back to include the Prefixes.

When I first add a new table to the Entity section everything works correctly. My problem is if I made a mistake with the EntityFieldNameStripPatterns or want to now include several Abbreviation changes, I cannot get the existing Entities to update the fields like they do when you first add them.

The fix is to delete the table and re-add it but that's a real pain since there is no way to mass delete the existing tables.

Any other ideas?

New project.

btw, Which Designer version (release date) are you using?

Version 2.6 October 9, 2009.

I agree with Walaa, create a new project should work Another workaround you can consider: http://llblgen.com/TinyForum/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=3130
