one small 'step' for man......

Hi Michael,

Using step translation from MoI to NX6 again, the way step translation works at the moment between the two programs is great, there is just one small detail that would be good to improve on, if possible.
If it's too much for V2 deadline then for future releases would be fine.

Here's what happens at the moment;

This is just a basic set up of some primitives in MoI, assuming it is an assembly of solid parts.
I've named each part and then saved as .step



In NX6 when we make an assembly file we make a new part file (*.prt) and assemble existing part files within the newly created one, for example, we would make a new part file 'Assembly_test.prt' then assemble the existing 'Cone.prt', 'Cube.prt', 'Cylinder.prt' and 'Sphere.prt' into this file, in that way if we make a change to one of the parts it will automatically update in the 'Assembly_test.prt'.
MoI step translation almost achieves this except it makes the first solid created in MoI, in this case the cylinder, as the default assembly file which all other parts are assembled into, this shows in the assembly tree, the cylinder is missing in the tree because it is the default assembly file 'Assembly_test_stp'.



Can this be tuned up so when we save as step the file name given is the default assembly file and all objects would be under that?
