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.

It's mostly in association with working with my CAM package. It likes IGES and STEP better than 3dm. So when I work with my brother, we go back and forth with these other formats... But it really isnt an issue for me. For the most part, I just go one way with the models, I was just engaging the dialogue. The loss of all the Pre-populated styles seemed a bit "out" with MoI's less-as-more target. The ability to re-populate a default list is just an addition I thought could be useful.

Hard to find anything you havnt been considering already :O
