File Name that does not make sense

Unread post by zwei »

So i was debugging a Parasolid file that my co-worker receive from our customer as he could not save the file....

After some debugging... the issue is because of the file name used is too long.... It is a whopping 204 character....

What other file name that does not make sense that you guys have come across?
Far too many items in the world are designed, constructed and foisted upon us with no understanding-or even care-for how we will use them.

I got a handful of parts in an assembly that were all Chinese characters that my OS couldn't deal with. I just renamed them and re-referenced them back into the assembly.

I do come across a few similar cases...
