XProperties name limitations for DWG and DXF files

Summary

What are the vdXproperty / vdXProperties (XDATA) name limitations for DWG and DXF files

Solution

Although you may have whatever string you want as a name in VDML/VDCL drawings this do not apply for DWG/DXF files.

For example you may have xprops with name "test", "Test" and "TEST" in VDML/VDCL files but in DWG/DXF only one of those will be saved and be available as only one of this "Application names" can be registered in DWG/DXF files. And this apply for ALL xproperties in the document and not only for one object of the document.
