Maximum Path Length

Hi:

I am having issues such as "-15166 Unable to find ...." or "-15107 Unable to make" or "-16276 cannot find", this happens when I copy and paste/move projects from one folder to another, or when within a project I select "Save as" and select a different directory. All these folders were nested inside several folders

As soon as i performed similar operations, but this time selecting a folder just under "My Documents", all these issues were gone, so I thought : mmm, it has to be related to the path length..... if you google, it looks like for Windows 10 the maximum path length is 260 characters, so I checked within my nested folders and I do have less than 200. So, this confused me a bit more, because it is somehow related to the path but my path lenght is within Windows 10 limit.

BTW, in case you are wondering, I did update the library files path within the "Configuraion Files" under Simulation profile, and it did not solve it

LONG STORY SHORT: IS THERE ANY MAXIMIUM PATH LENGHT, OR ANYTHING RELATED TO THE FILES PATH TO GUARANTEE i WONT HAVE ANY ISSUES ? ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO LIBRARIES PATH ?

 

Thanks in advance !

Update, I think I found my own answer. Yes, if the path of where your PSPICE files are located is too longh, PSPICE will give several errors like the ones described above. 

In my particular case for a particular project, a path  length up to 156 characters was fine, 157 and higher will give me errors.

So, DO NOT USE LONG PATHS !
