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.

Hello John,

Thanks.But the PNT have all the old default names.The change should be reflected in the PNT too.

Thanks,

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.
