Export assembly to parasolid with names

We have NX 6 and TC2005 and I'd like to export selected solids from an assembly outside teamcenter and keep the names on the solid. So I'd like to be able to select bodies and select the destination folder. I've found journal files here that do one or the other, but not both. The one below has the select folder option, but includes hidden solids.

Does the solid selection
 
When you say "keep the names on the solid", do you mean exporting components as individual parasolid files where the parasolid file name is the same as the component part file name, or the parasolid file name is the same as the component displayed name, or something else?

I want my components to be in one file so that it shows the assembly position. And that the parts carry over the item names. Usually in NX parasolid export the items only get an id no. In our system the names are stored with the attributes DB_PART_NO and DB_PART_REV.

I managed to get the first script to output to a specified folder, but I only got the revision letter added to the names.

Sorry. I managed to get the scirpt Link to export with the revison letter, but it doesn't take the name.

 
The last post in this thread has a journal that applies names to the exported parasolids. It doesn't allow folder selection, but otherwise does it do what you want?

This only captures the revision letter as well and Because of the TC integration I cannot use workpart.Fullpath as directory. I manually changed it to "C:\temp\test.prt"
 
Sorry again, the script in the first post doesn't include the hidden solids, but it doesn't have a selection option and it puts each solid in separate files. So then I loose the assembly structure.
 
I'm not allowed to use dropbox at work, so I'll try to get it later.
 
It almost works. You've got the assembly's Part_no correct, but it's used for all solids. Each item should keep its own DB-part-no
