Component instance name. req help

[NewOne]

I'm using

Sketchup.active_model.active_entities.add_instance(my_component, t)

# my_component is component name and
# t is applied transformation

Sketchup appends #+number to component's name, for each instance. I want to be able to replace # in name with other character ('/'). Is there a way to do this?

The Component name is a String .

ins = entities.add_instance(cdef, transf)
name = ins.name
name.gsub!(/#/, '/')
ins.name = name

I will add that the Definition name is different than the Instance name, but should work the same.

ins = entities.add_instance(cdef, transf)
name = ins.definition.name
name.gsub!(/#/, '/')
ins.definition.name = name
