Hello

Does the number of characters used for the recording name of a piece influence the performance of Soldiworks?

Hello

For the part, it does not seem that the number of characters in the file influences the performance of the software.

Hello

Unless the full filename (so with the folder path and the file extension) exceeds 256 characters, even then windows will have a hard time and you may not have access to your file anymore.

Kind regards

On the other hand, you have to keep in mind that Windows only supports 256 characters for the path + filename + extension set, the path including the drive letter and all the separator characters (:, \).

Hello

At the root there is no influence, but in a subfolder of subfolder etc .... It can affect search and typesetting performance because the access paths (including the file) must be a maximum of 255 characters.

So if the path to the parts Drive: Folder/folder2/folder3/Folder Parts/tartanpion12346789910.sldprt we are still within reason.

Spaces count as characters!

Then advice favor numbers and capitals and ban the "çà*" of special characters which leads to defects when composing to take away

All the same idea at the same time!!!!

@d.Roger, yes .... We must have all had to have it once with that!

so on the other hand I read 255 and not 256 in max number (a bit in the byte story)

@ Gerald-FCA, I read 260 characters, didn't do the test to check. It seems to want to disappear little by little, or even https://www.developpez.com/actu/99242/Windows-10-Microsoft-met-silencieusement-fin-a-la-limitation-a-260-caracteres-pour-les-chemins-d-acces-dans-la-Build-14352-en-preversion/

This will allow some to let go in the management of files!!

Agree with my colleagues, it depends on the path of the file...

Ok thank you.

For the moment we don't use the designation as a registration name, which makes it easier to search on Windows. I want to set up the registration name = code to be defined. On the other hand, without PDM I am afraid for the search, forced to have an up-to-date EXCEL file with the code and the designation.

Windows storage plus an up-to-date Excel file with the code and designation, it must require a lot of rigor from all users?
