Symbol Instance definition name

Symbol Instance definition name

Hello

 

For symbol instance present in drawing, we can identify name of parent symbol using API ProDtlsymdefdataNameGet.

 

This API gives correct name in case of Symbol Definition having name as Test. In case of Symbol Definition Name having Test (2) or Test(2), it is not giving full name and only provides Test as symbol Definition Name.

 

Am I missing something or is this way it works? Any suggestion would be of great help.

Check the list of invalid characters in a filename. I think the '(' and ')' are not valid characters.

Usually in a Windows folder, a file with the (#) in the name indicates a copy of the original file.

Hi,

if I try to create drawing symbol in Creo session and enter symbol name Test (2) or Test(2) then Creo tells me that I entered invalid name.
