Parametric text is an awesome add-in. I couldn't use Fusion without it. One feature that's missing:

 

Configuration name pushed to inserted CD with ParametricText

 

I know that there's a discussion with the developer on Github (Issue #77) about the inability to make this work with an add in. I unfortunately don't know enough about the API or coding but I'm a devoted user and I see that there's many other users that would want this function so I'm just asking as a user.

You are not the only one budy, I've requested the possibility to change the name of a body or a component via the Configuration Design. I've been experiencing headaches while exporting various file types, such as STL or STEP, which has been a manual task for a long time. That's the only feature I am missing so far in Fusion.

 

BUT there is hope. I designed a custom add-in for Fusion to automatically rename components based on their part numbers, which is configurable in the CD. 

 

It will only affect the component that you have selected in the Properties in the Configure menu.

Each time you change configuration it will change that component named from the configuration Table, not the best approach but it's better than nothing, if only Fusion dev could add the Component or body name to the list of configuration desgin this would be killer ! Just like bellow,

Or make the Component Name field editable just like the Part Number is.

If you interrested in my add-in let me know I'll sent you my Git-Hub link.

 

If I may I would also recommand you drop a feature request or add a thumbs up to this one to revive it https://feedback.autodesk.com/project/feedback/view.html?cap=326ccb1f-9653-409c-8884-c57523f9e054&uf...
