Thank you! Does this mean I cannot add this variable to an existing brd file
then?
Thanks again,
Dharma

Hi Dharma,

Set the Variable:

allegro_long_name_size 255

Defines the maximum number of characters for the following strings: net
name, pad stack name, slot name,
and function pin name.  The minimum value is 32 and the maximum is 255. This
is only used when creating a new
drawing.

Hi Everyone,


We have run into a problem with long file names in 15.5. 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
