Hello Arno, If what is happening is that you're translating to Geodatabase (or most any database), then I'd expect the right hand side of workspace to have these truncated names, because we've got some Tcl in our metafile directory that does this for database formats. I'd expect the left hand side, the autocad side, to be untouched.
Now, it may be that we are trimming them too tight and that the database in question can now support longer names, and I'd like to know that and then we can fix it. If this is not what you are seeing, then please let us know as well -- ideally, send the workspace and the dwg file to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we'll look more closely.
