RE: Rename the Feature Bodies from PNT - NX 9.0.3.4

If you set your Selection 'Type Filter' to 'Solid Body', perform a display 'Fit', then do a 'Select-All', place your cursor over any of the highlighted bodies, press MB3, select the 'Properties' item and then select the 'General' tab. Now enter a name such as 'Body-' and toggle ON the 'Add index to name' option and hit OK. Now each solid body in your model will be assigned a unique name using the sequence; 'Body-1', 'Body-2', Body-3', etc.

If you go to the Part Navigator and place your cursor over some 'white space', press MB3 and toggled OFF the 'Timestamp Order' item, you'll see the solid body names.
