Automatically add in the Derive Part or Assembly name

Currently, when adding in a derived sketch or part into a part studio, the name of that entity is not brought in with it and you have to manually rename it. Can the name automatically be derived in too?

There are a few improvement requests which are related, nothing exactly like what you're requesting.

- Name the part (optionally appended with "reference only" or something)
- change the appearance of the part to mark it as something you don't want to put in an assembly (if you're just using it as a reference to design around)
- mark it "Not Revision Managed"
- exclude it from the BoM
It could also steal all of the nice functionality of Super Derive for placing more than one part around and doing a boolean operation.The Onsherpa | Reach peak Onshape productivity
