I often import a model that is fairly close to what I need, make some changes, and re-export it. Whenever I export a scene in 3DS format, the names of all component objects/groups are renamed to "object," even though they had unique names when imported. AC3D recognizes these names and shows them on import, but as soon as it exports the modified scene, it changes all the names to "object." Some apps that use these models require specific names for components in order to animate them, etc.

Why does AC3D change names when exporting to 3DS? Is there any way to force the software to preserve object names?

Thx!
