Access object names in SAT file?

1

Is it possible to sccess the „Name“ value given to different Objects in a SAT file ?

Goal: import SAT into dynamo, sort objects by these Names (dictionary) to retrieve them.

(The Names show when opening the SAT as text, but geometry import only shows type: solid, surface etc.)

I am not aware of any AEC tools which do this, in Dynamo or otherwise. Perhaps there is a manufacturing toolset which does this? You could write your own importer, as the spec for SAT is somewhat available for review.

Thanks Jacob, I had read this and was surprised that „name“ actually exists in sat…

So from dynamo geometry export out to sat , is there a recommended way to attach a string to a piece of dynamo geometry ?

Nope. You’d have to build a custom exporter as well.
