    I would like to pattern a part off of a sketch in an assembly (I can do
    this this is not the issue) and then I want have all the individual
    entities (parts) get a unique name and be saved as a unique part.

    I would assume I would just dissolve the pattern but then how to I get
    each part to pick up a unique name and then save out as a new part?

    How would I go about doing this?

    You can't do that from an assembly, but if you pattern them as bodies
    inside a part and then use the Save Bodies command, you can save each of
    them to a different file name. I'm not sure what you're trying to do
    after that, but you will have a "base part" situation, rather than
    having independent feature trees.

    Depending on what you're trying to do, this might also be a good use for
    configurations.

    I was thinking of doing that but there are a lot of parts to deal with
    here, guess I will have to quit being lazy and just do it

    Thanks
