PowerLogic has a limitation for electrical pin names of 14 characters. It does not allow more than 14, it even counts \ as one character. I need to increase pin names to make decale identical to manufacturer. I found that when I use the Library manager to export cae decale then manualy changing the name by editing the exported file and then importing the decale back it was accepted by powerlogic with out errors even by using tools\check part in the part editor\decale editor. - I even used more than 40 characters as a test and it was accepted-

now the question is: did any one practiced this before ?
does it creat me problems at any later stage?
comments please

Thanks in advance

It causes major problems when
Importing and exporting the ascii files in ppcb.
Give it a try and you'll see what i mean.
