Create option to use original names when importing a STEP file.

Create option to use original names when importing a STEP file.

The current functionality as defined by PTC as working to spec creates an additional assembly & adds a suffix to part names when opening a assembly step file. For more information please refer Article https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS42608 I would like a option to use the original structure. I know how to manage my files and don't need PTC to protect me from overwritting my original files.

Use Case:

Extra assembly file is created that must be managed or restructure assembly before saving. (work that should not have to be done)

If trying to dumb down parts/assemblies, restructure & renames required. (work that should not have to be done)

When creating STEP files for customers/vendors I need to reimport to make some changes then export again. Then on the customer/vendor side the part names don't match the PDF's of drawings supplied.
