Open up your part file that contains the solid bodies that you want to convert into components.

Use the "Shapes to Excel" command to create a spreadsheet containing all of the solid bodies. Open up the spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel and give the solids new names as well as specify iProperties that you want to add.
