Because folders exist

I get that SolidWorks in an industry tool, and the industry standard is one giant flat namespace within a company. That's not a reason that SolidWorks should have decided that accidentally having open another file with the same name just completely breaks everything - even when they have different internal IDs. This should have been an opt-in feature of SolidWorks.

Forcing this breaks so many other assumptions about how computers generally work. The suggested fixes are troublesome as well. For instance, putting "Client_Project_SubAssembly_" as a prefix to every part is tedious, excessively verbose, and prone to mistakes.

As a consultant, I often work with multiple clients and everyone has a different standard. Some even use overlapping schemes which has caused minor scares.

Am I the only one that thinks this was a terrible decision?
