| Summary | 0000812: Does not import files with the national chars in the file name. | ||||
| Description | FreeCAD does not import files with the national chars in the file name. | ||||
| Additional Information | Bug tracker also gives an error when I try to attach these files. You can take the example file from the distribution Schenkel.stp and add to its name the characters  in Russian :-) or any other national character set. When writing a plugin for my program I had to do copy such files to a temporary file and then import it into FreeCAD. | ||||

|  | This is a limitation of the CAD kernel OpenCascade. In its API to load STEP or IGES files it only supports path names in plain ASCII. | 
|  | Maybe we can write a check on file names if they contain non-ASCII chars and bail out more gracefully with user feedback.... | 
|  | to be tested on OCCT 6.8.0 |
