NX Journal Body rename to STEP export

[MilesvdL]

I have a problem that I would like to automate somehow, but not sure how to do it.

My current workflow is as follows,

1 - export assembly outside teamcenter
2 - you will need to define a naming rule "${db_Part_name} which will use the part name instead of the item ID.
3 - Open a standalone version of UG.
4 - read in the exported assembly.
5 - export a STEP file of the assembly.

You will now have a STEP file of the assembly which will retain the part names when you read it into another CAD/CAM package. If that software supports assembly structure.
Similar to this thread, thread561-316531.

Not being a programmer is there a way to create a journal or similar that will rename the solid bodies in an assembly so I can skip the need to export from teamcenter and just export a STEP where the bodies are all now named ${db_Part_name} for example.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks,

Miles

You can simply export a STEP file from a model file in TeamCenter to your filesystem.

Thank you Jerry,
The problem is the renaming of the bodies in the assembly.
We could manually do this as shown in the image but I would like a way to rename the bodies for all parts in the assembly.
