Hi,
I need to give a name to a line with special characters. For instance the line name would be LN<1.0>. Here the <> symbols are causing the problem. UG says you cannot give special characters as a name. How can I solve this problem?
thanks
 
The easiest fix I see would be to avoid the invalid characters. Try the name LN_1.0 or LN(1.0) or LN[1.0] - any of which should work. Is there a good reason that the name has to have the characters '<' and '>'?
 
Yes, there is a reason. I have to use those characters. Another script program uses those and I do not have control over it.
 
In that case I strongly suggest getting in touch with whomever does have control over the script program. I'm sure that all involved want everything to work smoothly.
