I've received several STEP files that I know were created in Saladworks. They import OK but every part and assembly has _ANY appended to the file name. ANY idea how to prevent this? I hate renaming 50+ parts in Pro/E (WF4 BTW).

Isn't the file name derived from when the step file was made? I think the _ANY was appended in by the user making the step file.
 
No, I opened the file with a text editor and there are no instances of the text string _any in the file. I searched for the part numbers and can find them. Pro/E seems to be adding the _any to the file names.
