This Enfocus PitStop command allows us to rename layers. The renaming is done "From" a source or several (if the box "Use regular expressions" is checked) "To" a destination; for example: we can rename the layer "Troquel" to "Cutting Die", as in the screengrab above.
The use of regular expressions (Regexp) allows making multiple selections very flexible as can be seen in the examples below. However, as only a single destination can be defined, this can result in multiple layers with the same name (supported in PDF format).
In many situations this is a bad idea and it'd be convenient to combine the layers with the same name with another command.
These are some examples of renaming:
To rename all the layers in the document we could use the expression ".+" Which means "any amount of characters" (that is: whatever they are).
To rename the layers "Troquel" and "Suaje" as "Cutting Die", we write "(Troquel|Suaje)". That will rename any of the layers with that name as "Cutting Die" (if both layers exist, we will have two "Cutting Die" layers).
