islandmon Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 This is a first for me: If an existing FileName is appended with "110606" . ie; "FileName_110606". When the file is opened in VW the name on the document is changed to " FileName#50829"...what gives ? Quote Link to comment
jbrhwy Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Not happening with my files: HPGC COGO.mcd changed to HPGC COGO_110606.mcd, opens & saves as HPGC COGO_110606.mcd. No difference if the file extension not used. Quote Link to comment
PeterT Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) I have seen this before. It happens with long filenames. Once you reach a file name with 32 characters, when opened in VectorWorks it trims the filename back to 26 characters and adds some mystery nuber at the end. If you shorten the name to 31 characters, VectorWorks will leave it alone. This has never bothered me though, because the Mac finder still retains the full name, it is only in the VectorWorks title bar that it appears odd.
