Currently you'll have a remaining "level1" object.

Right now the library that is used for IGES, STEP, and SAT I/O does not support storing or reading back the names associated with a style/layer type entry.

In IGES the semi-equivalent of layers are called "levels", so that's where that level1, level2, etc... comes from. When there is not a name stored there is just a number to go by when reading the file back in.

But is there some particular reason why you would be saving and loading back your objects from iges format instead of saving in 3DM format? 3DM will work better for this since the names will be preserved.
