In this file format, surfaces are parsed to be combinations of triangles.

Just look at your file names on your apple media devices if you have one of the scarce few of those in existence Au7G.mp3 etc.ĭoes anyone here have one of those CTRL+Q T shirts I saw at a SWW in the past? Just curious.Any and all CAD files can be converted to STL (Standard Triangle Language). There is really no need for super descriptive filenames to be used if files have property values they can be sorted by. You can't use a " in filenames but you can use 2 single ' ' quotes side by side to get the same thing. Since Unix is case sensitive you could have the following part names and lead to a situation like the following giving you 2 n filenames with same letters and varied capitalization where n is the filename length. I'd like to meet the genius at your company who requested this dumb CaPiToLiZaTiOn sTaNdArD.

You may be able to save a bunch of time using the easiest method possible. This is one of the few cases where doing a rename in windows wouldn't cause any problems because the filenames haven't actually been modified in a true sense. Thanks! RE: CAPITAL/lowercase letters in file names drawoh (Mechanical) 10 Feb 12 15:49 So my question is two-fold: Why might this be happening? And what can I do to get the design tree to display the actual filename, inclusive of capital/lower case detail? Moreover, it's just disturbing: I cannot figure out what I am doing to generate two different results as the renaming procedure for each item, from my view, is completely identical. I'm a bit compulsive and this is driving me absolutely crazy. The other ~half of the time, the capital letters are not reflected in the name on the design tree: they're still lower case.Įverything I can come up yields no good results: the name is "stuck" being displayed in the tree as lowercase. About half the time, there are no issues, and the part/assem name is correctly displayed on the design tree with its capital letter-only name. Each case actually requires renaming twice, since only changing the case of the letters is not recognized as a name change.Īs I open up assemblies containing the parts or subassemblies, whose name went from to, I observe two cases:

So I went through each part and assembly, and did any required renaming via "Solidworks Re-name" in the SolidWorks Explorer. I've been asked to standardize all of my SolidWorks parts and assemblies to contain ONLY upper case letters in the filenames.
