A/Car is adding a suffix to my file names...

A/Car 2017.1 on Windows 10...
 
I have some full-vehicle models I run with a file driven event and the external solver. It seems A/Car is now adding a "_1", "_2", etc. to the file names as I call the cmd file for the run. I don't recall it doing this before, instead asking if i want to overwrite the existing run, and I can't seem to find the button to get it to stop. Thoughts...???

    This does indeed appear to be caused by the 72 character limit. Shorten up my assembly and .xml names and i get prompted to overwrite the analysis with no truncating or suffix additions to the file names. Any thing magic about 72 characters...???
