All,

A quick SCALE6.1.2 and SCALE5.1 question - is there a limit to the number of ARP libraries listed in the ARPDATA.txt file?  If so, what versions of SCALE are affected? 

We are seeing some odd behavior after appending a significant number of new libraries to the standard file.  Clearly there could be other problems on our side, but I would like to confirm that there are not hard-coded limits on the number of libraries.  Thank you.

Jessee, there should be no limit. The file is not stored internally, only read until the requested library is found. I have converted all the Scale 6.2.1 libs to 6.1 format, appended to the 6.1 arpdata.txt file, and have experienced no issues. The library name is limited to 40 chars.
