Limitation on how many characters can the Axis Name has

Hello,

A customer is working with version 3.6 of Motion and has something like this defined:

The problem is that we are getting an error that the name of the axis is too long:

I guess that there is a limitation on how many characters can the name of the axis use but, can I increase this limitation?

Thanks in advance,

In version 3.6 and below the limitation of the length of axis names in the ctrlX MOTION is 16 characters. See online documentation of ctrlX MOTION 3.6.

In the CXA_MotionInterface used this limitation is also given. You could check the variables "MB_AXISIF_REF.AxisName" datatype for such information. As you added an additional "e" to the name of the axis its now 17 characters.

In version 4.6 of the ctrlX MOTION the limitation has been increased to 64 characters.
