Instance name to match file name

Anonymous

Hi,

 

Is there any way to get the instance name of a part or an assembly to match the file name by default?

 

Cheers,

 

Iain

What version of Inventor?

There is the rename browser nodes function.. (may have been added in 2016 and forward)

I use the Rename Browser Nodes function all the time. It has 1 drastic problem, it tries to process Released files also. This causes major headaches with dirty (touched) files. I have asked the developer to include a filter to NOT process Released files. 2 years on and the problem still exists.
