Reduce the number of characters in the asset files generated by the factory

Reduce the number of characters in the asset files generated by the factory

Windows has a character limit in the explorer address bar of 128 characters. When you create a custom asset and insert it into a factory assembly, it generates the original name of the asset plus a random number to differentiate the files and avoid conflicts. However, the generated numbering is very large and ends up exceeding the windows character limit, meaning that insertion does not occur.

I will show some examples:

 

  • how the original file is:

STAIR.iam

 

  • how it should be:

STAIR_A1234.iam (short random number)

 

  • how the factory generates:

STAIR_DF##F_73A4FC6520E06B58DCBF8CE6B01E7C6D.iam 

 

Therefore, the total number of factory generation variations is 69^34, which is an extremely large number. so instead of helping to avoid conflicts, it ends up generating more.

 

what does it look like in my file folder:
