Hi Guys
i have a 3D file (STEP) that is downloaded from a manufacturers website......opens fine and all is good, can even save it no problem as a SW part
My problem comes when i have used the above file in a SW assembly and i go to SAVE AS (all referenced components) to a new directory - i then get an error message which says
"File name entered was invalid, not found, locked or of an incompatible type"
I cant seem to find a way around this.......can any one advise??
STEP file attached

strange
i tried doing just that but as i said save all (with allreferenced files ticked) brings up the error everytime
ok i just found if i go to advanced and check
SAVE ALL AS A COPY
it works
....slightly confused
Did you tried working only with the part alone?
The step import, give you an assy....
improrting it is no problem
its just the save all referenced files creates the problem
What is the name you use for the file (assembly) when you do the Save As command?
Do you change the name of the part?
I downloaded your file and attempted to recreate your error but could not. Everything worked just fine.
Perhaps your file name string is too long. There is a limit to the Windows directory string + component name (256 characters?). If that's the case, try saving local and see if it works.
