Roberto, thanks for the suggestion, however, no success.

I explicitly set all the parameters, but still the filenames are being
automatically set to  upper case (on the Samba server only).

thanks anyway

Hi

I sugest to explicit setup all parameters you need. In my case:

   mangle case = no
   case sensitive = no
   default case = lower
   preserve case = yes
   short preserve case = no

I have no problems with AutoCAD file names with those settings.

Hope this help

ROberto
