WTPart 40 Character (Hard?) Limit

$
0
0

Anyone have any experience/advice for creating WTParts for documents that are 40-70 characters in length?

We are currently set up so the WTPart created in 10.1 is copying the name from the cad file. These cad files are being loaded from network drives and some have been in use for almost a decade now, and are in many assemblies.

 

If I try to check in these models,

ex. 3880 FITTING,PIPE,BUSHING,HEX,0.25IN FNPTX1.25MNPT.SLDPRT <- 57 Characters

then this error comes up.

Conflict Description:

The value exceeds the upper limit of "40" for "Number".

 

I have a few ideas how I could approach this, but it would be a very manual approach (manually create and name the Part for the cad doc) or I could simply ignore the WTPart for these files for now... I should note that I have almost 2000 of these files with freakishly long file names. And for the record, no I did not name any of these files...

 

Thanks in advance.
