Yes, we use Make Components from the multi-solid, insert them into a target Assembly as you described. We accept the default names because typically they are edited to the part name that we will use in our BOM. Then we do the first save. Sometimes the parts need to have the names changed as an edit will be made to the part that justifies this. Currently we will change the name in the multi-solid and go and then change the name of the individual part name through Vault. I was wondering if there is a way to change the name of the part file or change the name of the original multi-solid and have this change affect the other "part" or instance. It may not be important to change the name of the Derived Part Feature below the origin folder as long as that does not cause problems with linking back to the original multi-solid model or the Assembly. We want to keep those links. As part of our process, we are pushing iProperties to the parts right after the Target Assembly has been created. I don't see a need to access them later but if the information changes, the iProperties will need to be updated as we are using them to auto-fill title blocks on our part drawings..
