STEP Export part/component names

STEP Export part/component names

STEP Export part/component names

(OP)
Hi, so I got a request from one of our customers if it was possible to export our assemblies as step files that use DB_PART_NAME instead of DB_PART_NO for component names. Looking in the .def file and step export documentation does not give any clues for a possible solution. There is an attribute_list and attribute_set executable in the step export folder but their purpose is unclear for me.

An alternative solution would be to edit the .stp file with a program after export that replaces the DB_PART_NO string with a new value, but id rather not have to do that.
