Hi,
I've a problem in an imported machine (with step from inventor)
in the assembly (and sub-assembly) each component take a "component name" (visible in proprieties->general, making right click on a component) that comes from the original inventor's component name in assembly
I must create a part-fam in those assembly to suppress or change some components ..
well, when i create the fam and select the component that i want to change from the menu where i select the colums of the excel's part-fam, here i see the "component name" of the assemby and not the "file name"..
there is a way to change every "component name" in the assembly with your "file name" with a journal in one shot ????
i'm trying to make it several days, but with no success ..
thanks !!

re: change component names
The following journal will attempt to load each component and set the name of the component to the part name. This journal does not save any parts; if you want to keep the results, you will need to save the files after running the journal.

Thanks !!
you saved me !!!
I've made a journal that make pdf of all component of an assembly .. I must post it or is already avaliable in the forum??
re: change component names
sorry but now i've a problem with the joural ..
it works correctly .. but for my use it's necessary that after the "name component" change the button below in menu (APPLY NAME TO ALL OCCURRENCES) must be pressed to change the name also in the excel's part fam ..
what can i do ?
thanks !
