Morning. OK so here is a new one that 1953 has given me. When we export a drawing sheet as a PDF we name it exactly the same as the UG file name. Our part number convention is "0000.12345.10.prt" We have a series number, a numerical drawing number, and a two digit machine shop code. There should be a total of 13 characters at a minimum, sometimes if its a revision the file name can grow. In the past when I export a PDF and I select the folder destination, the filename field has had the file name ready to go, and I hit OK. Currently in 1953, its limited to 10 characters in the field that the software has autofilled for me. I have to type in the remaining digits of the part number and hit OK. I have never had to run journals or anything in 15 years prior to this. Is there some setting in Customer Defaults?

Side note: Doing an export of STL, STEP from Modelling the full part number is displayed in the Filename field, yet when I export a Parasolid the filename field is either blank, or displayed the partnumber for the model I may have exported earlier in the day.
