Are there limits to saving out lyr files, where the name in the MXD has a semicolon or parenthesis in the name?  Meaning no special characters in the name is allowed to save out as layer files... ... View more

ok, I did not see that forum, so I will post there after this post.  Thank you Mike.  i am hopefully going to be more involved with arcpy.mapping, this is only my second day since beta10 using arcpy.mapping, so bear with me. The mxd points to SDE data, file GB locally, UNC over a network, and there are about 15 broken links.  opening the mxd, is pretty slow, so it may not be just arcpy.mapping.  Broken Links and UNC are probably the biggest culprits.  i am thinking the speed of the mxd with the broken links, is akin to what we experienced at 9.3 or 9.3.1 where there was a perf hit when you had broken links. What I mean by printing is not actual printing of the mxd, but printing the list, so I can see the data, so see about replaceWorkspaces.  Is it possible to loop through layers and for the replaceWorkspacePath or the finadAndReplace...use the lyr.dataSource as the input, in place of the actual path, is that feasible? ...

So  this took easily 20 minutes to print, is that expected?

Ted, This information is located on the General tab for the Feature Class dialog under the Geometry section. Adding it to the Feature Dataset is not really possible; since Feature Datasets do not have a geometry storage type themselves and it is possible that feature classes contained within a feature dataset can have different storage types. really different storage types in a fd, really, we can do that.  hmmm.  Ok, i will look there next time, thanks. ...
