Select Components by Rigid Body # and Rename Rigid Bodies

Hello everyone,

I am working with a Creo Mechanism assembly and I would like to better understand how to manage the rigid bodies automatically generated by Mechanism.

In the Model Tree, I can display a column called “Rigid Body #”. The components have values such as: Ground, 1, 2, 3, and Excluded.

I have two questions:

  1. Is there a way to select all components that belong to the same Rigid Body #?
    For example, can I automatically select all components where Rigid Body # = 2?

  2. Is it possible to rename the automatically generated rigid bodies?
    For example, can I change the names from 1, 2, 3 to custom names such as body1, body2, body3, or more meaningful names?

Any suggestion on the recommended Creo workflow would be very helpful.

Thanks!
Fabio
