Preserve Part Names When Creating Components from Multibody Parts

Preserve Part Names When Creating Components from Multibody Parts

Idea Summary:
Allow users to select parts (with assigned names) instead of generic bodies when using Make Components from a multibody part. The extraction dialog should retain the original part names instead of assigning generic "Solid1", "Solid2", etc.


🔧 Proposed Features

  • Part-level Selection in Multibody Workflow

    • Enable selection of visible part names from model browser (or sketch/block labels), not just bodies

  • Preserve Naming in Dialog

    • Use assigned part names in the Make Components dialog

    • Avoid renaming each output manually

  • Optional Behavior

    • Toggle: "Use part names from model browser"

    • Fallback to body name if no part name exists


Benefits

  • Reduces manual renaming effort

  • Improves clarity and consistency in assemblies

  • Speeds up structured design workflows

  • Aligns with naming already defined during multibody modeling phase
