2018 Browser Part Name is not correct

[Anonymous]

Using Save As to create a new part from existing part. The new part is retaining the original parts name in the browser, but i-Property information of the new part is correct. What's up with that?

Is below what you mean saying the iproperties are correct?

Have you tried hitting F5 to refresh what you are seeing in windows explorer?

Windows 10 x64 -16GB Ram
Intel i7-6700 @ 3.41ghz
nVidia GTS 250 - 1 GB
Inventor Pro 2018

Hi, Refers to the name of the model in the browser as in what I detailed with the arrow?
If so, you may have to open the master assembly and rename components.

Another option would be to run a rule ilogic like this to update all the model names

Dim openDoc As Document
openDoc = ThisDoc.Document
Dim doc As Document
For Each doc In openDoc.AllReferencedDocuments
Dim CurFileName As String
'get the path and file name of the selected item
CurFileName = doc.FullFileName
'defines backslash as the subdirectory separator
Dim strCharSep As String = System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar
'find the postion of the last backslash in the path
FNamePos = InStrRev(CurFileName, "\", -1)   
'get the file name with the file extension
Name = Right(CurFileName, Len(CurFileName) - FNamePos)
doc.DisplayName =Name 'without extension.FileName
doc.save
Next

I know about the Rename Browser Nodes in Productivity tab, that tool does not exist in an ipt.

I would rather not write scripts or do work around, I can find my own work around.

Is this a bug in the software?

Edit the name in the browser (slow double click) and delete it, then press Enter.  The name will be replaced with the file name.

If this works, it means that sometime in the past the name was edited manually.
