Change ModelManager Step Export Properties

[lniel]

Hello,

When using the STEP-Export option under "Generate Standard Format" the exported Elements do not have the expected names.

Their names are the content of the field "Description" instead of the "name" field's content. This makes it difficult to recreate the correct structure afterwords.

So I was wandering if there is any way to change that.

I was hoping to find e.g.  an xml file where I can set some parameter from let's say  "modelname = description" to  "modelname = name" but didn't succeed so far.

Any ideas on this matter is welcome,

Thanks,

Lisa

I don't know of an option like that. I ended up writing a custom function which changed the "Instance Name" (name in the Structure Browser) of all of the parts/assemblies to the "Model Name", then save the assembly as a STEP file, and then change everything back.

I'd suggest entering this as an enhancement request.
