Layer name > 32 characters

[juergen65]

hello,
my autocad dwg (acad 2004) has long layer names with more than 32 characters. If i click on the filters button i can see all the layer names with the correct (long) name, but in my shape file the field layer shows only the first 32 characters.
For my converting project it is important to have the correct layer name. Is there a setting in cad2shape to support this or isn't it possible?
thanks jürgen

Hello Jürgen,

Is there a setting in cad2shape to support Layer names > 32 characters?Yes, it can be done. You need to edit CAD2Shape.ini (it is in the CAD2Shape installation folder.) In the section [FieldWidth] change the value of the 'Layer' entry to the length that you need, with a maximum length of 254 characters. E.g. to allow for 128 characters:

[FieldWidth]
Layer=128
