Long Drawing Names - *12​.1​.SP4*

Description

Until now there have been some inconsistencies in how you can name a drawing when doing "New Drawing" and "Save Drawing As". "Save Drawing As" has been much more flexible since it allows long drawing names and free use of lowercase and uppercase characters. "New Drawing" now has the same flexibility as "Save Drawing As".

You can use up to 115 characters in a drawing name.

In case you would like to limit the number of characters that can be used for a drawing there is a new drafting default keyword: DWG_NAME_MAX_LEN. This can be set to a value between 10 and 115. 115 is the default value.

Benefits

"New Drawing" is now equally flexible as "Save Drawing As" when it comes to maximum number of character and lower case vs. uppercase.

Compatibility Constraints

None.
