NetList output reference designator string length with orWireList.dll

RenoMike

It appears that there is a maximum number of characters (9) for component reference designators when generating a netlist using the orWireList.dll option (on the "other" tab).  Does anyone know if there is any way to increase the maximum number of characters allowed for that field?

    you can set the max length of the reference designators by typing in the command line:

    set REF_DES_LENGTH 255

    Thank you masamasa, I gave that a try and net list output is still the same.  Reading through the netlist help documentation it appears to be a limitation of that particular netlist output option.  Would be nice to find a way to increase that limitation since we've written some custom tools around the output.
