Can I name a PolyGroup in ZBrush 3.5 R3?

I think the title says it all. I want to do some grouping in ZBrush, then export the OBJ for another program. Unfortunately, the default ZBrush naming convention gives me no clue in the OBJ file as to what the group is. If I could name the group in ZBrush, I could keep track of what I was trying to do. Thanks.

Oh, yeah. If I can name a group, how do I do it?

I regret to say you can’t. ZBrush will retain group names on imported OBJs, provided the polygroups are not changed through an operation but you can’t assign names to groups within ZBrush.

Ok, thank you. I can manage to do what I need by importing the OBJ into Poser Pro. Then I can see what the groups are, make new groups with the names I want and load them with the polys of the appropriate group from ZBrush, then delete the ZBrush group and re-export the OBJ. A bit awkward, but gets the job done.
