Deac,
I took a look a sourcelink, and found that 15.x versions
support up to eighteen (18) characters and 16.x versions
support up to thirty (30) characters on a standard
installation.
Note: The Total number of characters includes the dot
and extension. So the useable padstack file name
length is only fourteen (14) characters.

Dharma,
We found out (by mistake) that padstacks with long file
names could be created using SKILL, but could not be
re-opened or edited manually later.
We eventually had to limit padstack names to fourteen (14)
characters in order to be fully compatible with Allegro.
How did your customer originally create the padstacks?

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
