Step export to solidworks, keep object name?

searched the forum but they are all old.

i export step files out of rhino into solidworks. i’m wondering if there is a way to keep the object name property from rhino and bring it into swx so i can make linked property leaders in the drawing to callout the parts without having to manually enter them. i can name objects faster in rhino than swx.

does step support this? is there a better format for this purpose?

The object name is in the step file, at least in my test-


DATA;
#10=SHAPE_REPRESENTATION_RELATIONSHIP('','',#113,#13);
#11=PRESENTATION_LAYER_ASSIGNMENT('Default','',(#12));
#12=MANIFOLD_SOLID_BREP('MyBox',#14); **<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Here**
#13=ADVANCED_BREP_SHAPE_REPRESENTATION('brep_rep_0',(#12,#121),#112);
#14=CLOSED_SHELL('',(#15,#16,#17,#18,#19,#20));
#15=ADVANCED_FACE('',(#21),#89,.T.);

Rhino reads it back in, but I have no idea what SW can do with it.

-Pascal

ok, thank you, that isolates to SWX, crafty hacking there!
