Importing a Step file from IDEAS

    I have received a step file of a large assembly that was created in
    IDEAS Master Series 9.

    When I import the assembly into SWX, the file names of the various
    components appear to be a part description instead of a part number.

    BUT, if I use ProDesktop Express, the imported component file names are
    the real part numbers.

    I would use ProD to import the step, save as a step, and then import
    into SWX, but that creates some other (severe) problems.

    Any thoughts or ideas? I want the file names of the imported components
    to be the part number and not the description. I am surprised to see
    that the imported component names vary between SWX and ProD. Is there
    some import or export setting that could be causing this?
