Any clues on this error "EVRTO: Could not load road data from file"?

I have an A/View model that I run successfully. I'm trying to set up a 2D Polyline road, which I have also used successfully, but am getting this error ("EVRTO"). Any ideas? I imagine I'm forgetting something easy...

---- START: ERROR ----

EVRTO: Could not load road data from file: ./My_2d_Polyline_Road_with_a_long_Name.rdf

---- END: ERROR ----

yes, evrto has file name length limit of 255 + 1 for null-termination.

Without counting exactly I have a suspicion that this name is less than 255 chars ....

On other occasions I had messages from A/Car property files "not being found" though the "right" path was supplied.

In my cases the solution was to put them into a known database into a known and defined table.

I'd suggest <private>/roads.tbl

Copy the file there, change the string in the adm and re-run the acf.

hmm.. I assumed './My_2d_Polyline_Road_with_a_long_Name.rdf' was nothing but a place-holder for a really long name (triggered by James' second post). James?

It was relatively long. Ended up around 60-70 characters, so not the issue.

Some more info (puzzles)...

A/View model of a Tractor-Trailer. This model has worked for many years. PAC2002 Tires.

I have two poly line rdf files, one labeled "Fwd" for the forward axle and one labeled "Rear" for the rear axle (I have a reason for this). I'm creating these in Excel where I can plot them, check them, etc. Here is an interesting sequence...

Assign all four wheel ends the “Fwd” road – Model runs

Assign all four wheel ends the “Rear” road – Model runs

Assign the two forward wheel ends the “Fwd” road, then the two rears the “Rear” road - Model crashes

Copy the text from the "Fwd" file and paste it in the "Rear" file.

Assign the two forward wheel ends the “Fwd” road, then the two rears the “Rear” road - Model crashes

By crash, I mean I get the "EVRTO" message, or it just stops and blinks out as it's writing these to the msg file...

  TIRE ID: 26

All this makes me think something is set "wrong" in my database, but no idea what it is...
