Description

### Problem description

When editing a model, it is often necessary to change the position of the tip in the feature tree.
Especially in models with multiple bodies, the tip setting for the last feature is lost. At least, I regularly forget to do this.

It would be helpful if the tip position were automatically checked when the user
saves the model or exports it to STEP or another format.
Either a short note could be displayed, or the tip could be automatically set to the last feature.

### Workbench affected?
