External Parts Assembly Names and Instance References

Please allow renaming instances (external references of imported parts?) to use descriptive titles that make common sense

    @Emil - you can rename the part in the Part Studio, and it will show up immediately in the assembly.  The attached .gif shows this process.
    Onshape is built for a top-down, multibody workflow, so each body you create in (or import into) a Part Studio is a part and has its own unique name which you can change as you see fit.

    Does that help solve your problem?
