File naming while generating ProE formats

By Xiaodong Liang

Issue
A recent case reports that the name of the result ProE file is not what the user sets, no matter with UI or API.

Assume we have a part named: 

DIN 3771 – 34,5 x 2,65 – N – NBR 70(7)39,86.ipt

Save as to Pro/E file, the result file name is:

4_5_x_2_65_-N-_NBR_70_7_39_86.g

Solution
Because of some limitations, the saved .g file name will include only “a-z, A-Z, 0-9, -, ”. Other characters will be replaced by ‘’. Also, the saved .g file name size will be limited to 31 characters. So, some characters are trimmed.
