Capture part name length more than 31 characters?

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to increase the 31 character limit for part names in Capture? I am getting the following error whilst importing some library XML:

XMATIC : ERROR(ORDBDLL-1099): Illegal name length. Maximum name length is 31 characters

I can work around this but it would be better not to have this limitation.....

thanks

-Nick

    This looks like a "built in" limitation of the Name Length and there doesn't appear to be a setting that controls this.

    You can change the limit to 255 max under Tools - create netlist - setup - change the min value 31 to 255 - Ok

    Thanks, but that's not the same thing.

    My question was about the maximum length for the part name (that is, the "Name" field when you add a new part to an OLB) - like the below image.

    You will be permitted to have more than 31 characters, only if the above settings are done. I could type part name of 42 characters without any issue because of the settings done.

    Refer below images.
