So i was debugging a Parasolid file that my co-worker receive from our customer as he could not save the file....
After some debugging... the issue is because of the file name used is too long.... It is a whopping 204 character....
What other file name that does not make sense that you guys have come across?

I got a handful of parts in an assembly that were all Chinese characters that my OS couldn't deal with. I just renamed them and re-referenced them back into the assembly.

I do come across a few similar cases...
Chinese and Japanese characters can be a headache sometimes in CAD

what a PITA.... I'd say "Virtual Components" (embedded parts) functionality was implemented about 90~95% correctly.
There's a macro that might be of help to you.
