Same name for every imported STEP file

Hi there,

I am having some issues when importing STEP files. Every STEP file that I import into Inventor 2022, gets the same name (in the tree). I saved a file once with a specific name and that now seems the default name for every imported STEP file. If I fill in a prefix or suffix in the import window, then it does change the entire name. I hope someone can help me out.

With kind regards,

Martijn

The name in the tree?! Can you give an example, image and/or file?

So for example I have 3 different STEP files named:

A.stp
B.stp
C.stp

When I open and import each of these files seperately in Inventor, they all show up as:

D.ipt

Have you all the updates installed? (2022.4)
