FilePath with special characters

Hi all,

I am trying to export step models by a script written in python. I experienced problems with that, when the path to the part file contains special characters such as German ä, ö, ü and maybe other.

Let's say the path to the part for is
C:\ORDNÄR\my part.prt

The property workpart.FullPath returns
C:\ORDNR\my part.prt

Does anyone know a solution for this?

Go to menu -> preferences -> user interface -> journal and make sure the journal file format is NOT set to ASCII. Try the Unicode or UTF-8 format.
