We have a customer who uses very long files names for their padstacks. Previously we were able to add these with no problem ( may have been using an expert license at the time) but now we get a "file name too long" error. Is there a switch in preferences, Or elsewhere, that I am missing that will allow us to use long file names? Thanks in advance and I wish you all a Happy New Year!, Dharma KAW/USA Ltd. 39 Simon Street, #4 Nashua, NH 03060 603-886-8711 x212 603-881-8763 fax Confidentiality Notice: This email and any accompanying documents contain information that is confidential, privileged or exempt from disclosure under applicable law and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.
