If I'm not mistaken, the "#" sign in a file name is not allowed.

Bear in mind that, a "#" is apparently okay for a Windows file name. Creo, on the other hand, will not let me create a file with that character in its name.

You can probably just rename the part when you have it loaded. I assume it is the result of pulling in a STEP file of an assembly, so just remember to rename all the offending parts first (and save them), then save the assembly last, so it will be stored with the changed part names.

Models with '#AF<number>' suffix are internal instances, for things like assembly feature intersected parts.  They should generally not be visible to the user, and should *certainly* not be showing up in a list of dependent models that need to be saved to disk.  You've got a bug here, please contact Tech Support and get an SPR filed.
