New body name directly

[ErikClacey]

I've been evaluating Creo 9 for company wide installation after the summer. I noticed that when for example using Extrude, one can set it to create a new body. The name seems to be greyed out, meaning that the user has to make the body and then go in again and change the name.

Suggestion is thus to allow the user to directly change the name of the new body during creation.

Yes, I agree. It's annoying having to create a new body with a default name (that almost awlays will need to get renamed), only to having to lookup where the body is in the model-tree to be able to select it and rename it. It should be possible to specify a name uppon body creation, as we can specify the feature name. The body name even appears on the greyed-out field, which only needs to be changed to allow the user specify the body-name, andhave the software do a quick check to see if the body name already exists.
