Inquiring mind has a question

[stiller@ernie.sgi.com (Matthias Stiller)]

Hello together,

I don't know if this question is specific to the open source version of
inventor but I hope that someone here can answer it.

I wonder why there are some restrictions in setting node names. For example
Node names beginning with numbers are not allowed and will get changed, e.g.

4superbname will be changed to _4superbname.

Furthermore characters like . and others are not allowed. Is there a special
reason for this behaviour ?

The problem for me is that I am getting these names directly from CAD-Files and
I need the possibility to keep those names 100%. Is it possible to change this
behaviour (maybe by setting an define _DONT_USE_NAMECONVENTION)

Regards

Matthias
