Request: Support short STEP entity names

[sburzinski]

I received a STEP file created by NX 12.0 that contains short entity names as listed here in place of the typical names.

Processing this STEP file, STEP File Analyzer 5.24 creates

1. A spreadsheet containing header information and circle, line, plane, and vector entities.
2. A tree view of just the header
3. A view empty of geometry

The NX Export STEP setting doing this may be the Short Names as described here.

Unfortunately, I cannot share the file, but here are some lines from it:

#10=PRDFRP(#14,#12);
#12=RPRSNT('',(#16),#429068);
#14=PRPDFN('pmi validation property','',#911);

Thank you

STEP short names are not supported and are there NO plans to add support for them. See if you can get the STEP file exported with the typical long names.
