Changing the credentials of the library parts
There would be useful to access the credentials of the library parts! At least the part names, because of the naming of these items are not really good. For example the washers generally called "Podolka" as default, and I allways have to rename these in the part lists. This means significant expensive design time wasting, especially when You have got an assembly with 20 or even more different type standard part!
(by the way the screws called as screw, why the washers called as Podolka? )
There would be advantageous to put these library part credentials into a text file, available by any!
Moreover there are individual naming conventions at many field of industry at many region. In my case, the purchase code at standard parts like screws, nuts, bearings, etc is the standard designation of the item, for example at a hex head M8x40 screw:
name --- Hexagonal head screw
material --- 8.8 A3f
purchase code --- ISO 4017 M8x40 8.8 A3F
So the purchase code should be automatically generated from the standard code of the part combined with the size of it and additionally combined with a default material like 8.8 A3F in my case (8 A3F is at nuts and HV200 at washers).
By the way I miss the default material also at library parts as it could be seen from the previous text.
