import external file format naming issue

    • paul pladet

      When importing assemblies with a different file format (for example IAM), naming of parts change:

      These are the original names of the files:

      Naming in discovery/SpaceClaim is like this (.ipt/.iam are the file extensions and shouldn't be in the naming):

      Strange is that if you load in the .ipt files seperatly, the naming is correct:

      Also when loading in Stepfiles you will also get empty components for some reason (in older versions this was not the case):

      In SpaceClaim, the same sub-assemblies also get a number (even though they are supposed to be exactly the same):

       

      Can this be solved? It's pretty important that the names of these parts/assemblies do not change.

      Hi Paul, 
       
      Which version of Discovery are you using?
       
      Have you tried inserting the geometry (File menu >> Insert Geometry)? Please check and let me know the behaviour with insert option.
