That depends, if you have the fortune (misfortune?) of using the CAD software Creo/ ProE from PTC then spaces are verboten since they haven't progressed from the days where the software was written for UNIX.

Damn this just made me realize why I use so many _ in my file names. Used to use PTC shit in a previous job very heavily.

Looks at both your screen_names…

To be fair mine only has an underscore because Lemmy doesn't support periods in user names. I have actually barely used the software I was talking about and use another one that doesn't care.
