Creo .obj export uses generic part names; need custom naming and order.

[SS_12566333]

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.0.0

Hi,

For an internal task I’m working on, I need to export an assembly from Creo and save it as a Wavefront (.obj) file.

The assembly contains a reference part and multiple instances of that same part positioned differently. When exporting to .obj and opening the file, I’d like to rename these objects and have them appear in a specific order. However, I’m running into an issue where each part is saved with generic names like “Facet Feature id 41,” which prevents me from organizing them properly.

Does Creo provide any way to assign custom names and control the export order when generating an .obj file? If not, once the .obj is exported, is it possible to edit the file afterward to apply the naming and ordering changes I need?

Please let me know.

Hi @SS_12566333 

With current functionality of Creo, custom name or order is not an option in exporting data to Wavefront. 

Thanks.
