NX to step214 to NX

NX to step214 to NX

NX to step214 to NX

(OP)
I have following assembly in NX8.5 (top part with 3 components)
(It´s a tool assembly according to ISO13399)

Assembly_1
- NOCUT_1
- CUT_1
- ACN_1

Component ACN_1 having part-attribute: PRDCT_ID=ASSEMBLY_CONSTRUCTION set according to ISO13399

From this assembly a step 214 conversion are made
Assembly described in the step file:
#75=PRODUCT('ASSEMBLY_CONSTRUCTION','ACN_1',' ',(#79));
#76=PRODUCT('CUT_1','CUT_1','MASTER_INSERT',(#80));
#77=PRODUCT('NOCUT_1','NOCUT_1',' ',(#81));
#78=PRODUCT('Assembly_1','Assembly_1',' ',(#82));

When importing the same step214 file to NX8.5 I got the following assembly:

Assembly_1
- NOCUT_1
- CUT_1
- ASSEMBLY_CONSTRUCTION

In the imported assembly, ACN_1 with the part attribute PRDCT_ID set got the part named from the attribute, can this be changed? I searched for possibilities to configure but cannot find it.

We produce a lot of this types of tool assemblies.
When a component have the same name it's require special handling such as you must not ever have more than one assembly open in the NX session.
