Can't save hole favorites with symbols?

Hi,



I have about 16 hole favorites I have created (holes for various PEM hardware), and if I click on save favorites I get a message... The filename cannot contain any of these characters @ \ / : * ? \ " < > |



I understand that... and,



I like my names " CLS 8-32 Hole (0.213") " but of course cannot save them... of course I used a " symbol...



Also if you just add a size "G" hole it is "G (0.261) Diameter Hole" (the default name SW gives)... you cannot save that one either... what is up with that? I do not see that in the "illegal" list of characters...



Is my install messed up, or just cannot use ( ) either even though it is not listed?



Thanks,



Aron

Aron, It's the full stop, (period), that is the problem, I think. It looks like a file extention, test.doc, for example. CLS 8-32 Hole (0.213") change to CLS 8-32 Hole (0-213")

Or just drop the period all together like 0213. This is a somewhat common practice.
