Character Equivalence Table Path

Hi All

Question please on Character Equivalence. I have a UNIX based V5 programme that we are moving over to a PC platform but the model files are staying put, hosted on a UNIX server. Im having what i believe to be a problem with the default character equivalence table actually mucking up what i want to do.

my models all contain the "+/-" symbol in part numbers and windows wants to convert them to "_" my problem is i dont want it too as its breaking all the product links. In XPx64 it appears to be quite happy reading the "+/-" symbol so how do i stop CATIA trying to convert the symbols?

The online docs talks about a default text file that contains the equivalence matrix but it doesnt tell you where it resides or what its called. i know i can point catia to my own one via tools options - Equivalence Table but i have no idea of teh correct file content syntax.

Any ideas

regards

Matt

Ahaa a stunned silence :-) Anybody have any ideas? all welcomed.

cheers

Managed to solve the problem. So I thought I would post the solution just in case it helps anybody else.

+/- not being correclty displayed on windows clients as the Samba config on the unix server had the incorrect codepage for unix charset and display charset - smb.conf corrected to be as follows:-

unix charset = ISO-8859-1

display charset = ISO-8859-1

Hi Matt,

Thanks for posting the solution.  There are those that sit on the fence an watch. Sometimes.. a few get off the fence,  and get in the game.
