Part Name Problem

[adanbeye]

Hi,

I'm wondering why the names appear so long. Do I need to adjust anything in Fusion?

The add-in generates the names for the export by combining (with a forward slash) all of the names on the path from the selected component(s) to the the actual bodies. If you select the top-level component for export, this includes the top-level component name, the names of any child components, and then the names of the bodies in those child components.

The names field also joins the name for each instance of the part with a comma, so in your example, the part with 33 instances will have all 33 names in the field.

For now, if you'd like better names, you can try:

• Naming all of your bodies. This will remove things like "Body5" from the export
• Select different elements to export. For example, instead of selecting the top-level component, select each sub-component. You can also select bodies directly to only export the body names.

There are currently no options in the add-in to control this, but if there's a specific behavior you are looking for, I may be able to add an option. You may also be interested in the discussion in #20, where the manner in which you select items can influence what gets exported.
