Naming

We recommend using only the following characters to name a building, document, component library folder or customer-specific environment:

• letters: a-z, A-Z
• numbers from 0-9
• special character: underscore (_).

For example, do not use space in the name. Also avoid special characters other than the underscore (_).

You can use the Scandinavian characters ä, Ä, ö, Ö, å, and Å, but note that they reserve more space in the database: one Scandinavian character reserves two character space.

According to this naming rule, you can name in the Vertex:

• Building

  The maximum length of the id is 16 characters.

• Customer-specific environment

  The maximum length of the name is 16 characters.

• Component library

  The maximum length of the library name is 64 characters.

• Archive document

  Vertex drawing or model is a document saved in the Vertex archive. The maximum length of an archive name is 20 characters. Other lengths of archive names are implemented as customer fittings.

• File

  When a drawing or model is not archived, save it under a file name. Save a sketch, feature or component under a file name in the library. Save a transfer file also according to this naming rule. Use also in the folder name only characters presented here. The maximum length of a file name is 254 characters.

  An extension is added to the file name.

  Vertex model file	vxm
  Vertex transfer file	vxz
