I am a hoping that someone can help me with this
issue. First I am new to posting a question in a
forum and am not sure if this is the best location but here goes.

 

I have a new 27 inch iMac with the following:

 

3.4 GHz i7 core

8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

ADM Radeon HD 6970M 2048MB

 

I am running OSX Lion 10.7

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on boot camp partition

Parallels 6.0

 

All system are working great and I am able to run
AutCAD 2011 both directly in boot camp and in parallels.

 

My issue is the following - My files are
organized by project for the most part. Each project folder
contains various file types. I want to keep all my data files in the mac HD
partition. However, AutoCAD running in boot camp will not open the files stored
in the mac partition - message indicates that the file name has unsupported
characters. The exact same file stored on a NAS can be opened. In addition if I
copy the file to the windows desktop it will also open.

 

How can I get AutoCAD to open the files on the
mac HD partition. I want to be able to open cad files either in boot camp or in
parallels and store them in the mac partition.

Thank you
