importing part names from STEP/IGES file

Post by fhachenberg »

Hi, is it possible yet to import the part names from a STEP/IGES file?

I found this quote at viewtopic.php?f=8&t=516&hilit=part+names
Yes, that's correct and even the CAD kernel we use supports that with an advanced reader/writer. Since the advanced reader/writer forces us to use a fat application/document framework from the CAD kernel we only use the simple reader/writer because in FreeCAD we have our own application and document framework. Thus, some time ago I started to implement myself to import colors and labels which already worked with a couple of files but it probably doesn't work very well with the majority of STEP files.
Is this avaible yet?
