Solidworks problem

ZEN - 21/6/10 at 05:25 PM

I'm designing a space frame chassis in Solidworks 2006. When I want to SAVE BODIES from the WELDMENT CUT LIST I always get an error THE FILE NAME CANNOT CONTAIN ANY OT THESE CHARACTERS @ / : * ? < >
Whatever name for the file I give the error is always the same

Is this a bug or I'm doing something wrong?

Probably you have give a name to one or other Structural Member with one of the symbols.
The best is to work with automatic name setup and at the end under the cut-list you re-name the Structural Member with the [properties]

Also remember to hit the "floppy disk" ikon, than you will get the names at the list of safe bodies.

Hm... actually I didn't named any of the Structural Member and have used the automatic name setup.
