Hi !

I want to save an assembly in step format with new names for parts and sub assemblies .

I wrote a macro :

it creates a new assembly with description+revision and then rename temporarily all parts and sub assemblies with description+revision.

it saves it in step format and close everything. It works but some parts in the original assembly are renamed why ?

(left: original assemblie, right: step file)

Does anyone can tell me what i am doing wrong ?
