May occur in several different situations especially when using external files
- Save or Save As where the file name is specified
- Import / Export of drawings
- Selecting parts
- Transfer to CIX machining centre
Check the path and file name entered. In some case the external file has to be renamed.
Common causes are entering a file name that contains characters that are not allowed, leaving the file name blank, or using a reserved word as the file name.
The reserved words are:-
CON PRN AUX CLOCK$ NUL COM1 COM2 COM3 COM4 COM5 COM6 COM7 COM8 COM9 LPT1 LPT2 LPT3 LPT4
LPT5 LPT6 LPT7 LPT8 LPT9
These reserved words also cannot be used as the first segment of file name followed by a full stop
e.g. “CON. PRO. - ALUM”
Typical characters that cannot be used are:-
\ / : * ? " < > | ,
This error can also indicate that the external file name is too long. For example a long file name cannot be imported into a part list because the part list has limit on the number of characters in the name.
