Can have multiple sketches of the same name (bug?)

Can have multiple sketches of the same name (bug?)

This shouldn't be possible, right?

Make a duplicate of a sketch ('copy' from earlier sketch's right-click menu, 'paste' on 'Sketches' right click menu).

 

Expected:

- the name should be something like "Holder down 2" (different from the previous name, and unique among all the sketches in this level)

 

Actual:

- one can have duplicate names (in fact, it's the default)

 

This feels unlike other areas of Fusion 360, where numbers are given to pasted / duplicated entries.

 

Also, I would like to know the overall naming strategy within Fusion 360.

 

It can be either:

 

- Names don't matter. Duplicate names are fine and it's the user's thing to keep clear of duplicate names (if she wants).

 

- Names should be globally unique. Pasting or importing any object with overlapping names will change those names to something unique.

 

- Names should be unique within a hierarchy (similar to scopes in programming languages). Pasting an object with a duplicate name (in that hierarchy) will cause the name to be changed to something unique.

 

- Something else / not defined / just happens to be the way it is?

 

In other words, has someone considered this.
