Name Tasks

When a Template/Area combination is selected during the drawing creation process, the default drawing name is the concatenation of the element names. For example, a drawing which used the template /DRTM-PIPING-A0 and area /A101 would be called /DRTM-PIPING-A0-A101.

An alternative naming method is provided by the inclusion of a user defined naming task, this is a pml function which is run at the time the drawings are added to the drawing process window. It is slightly different to other tasks because the template and area names are inserted into the passed parameters as parameter 1 and 2, and the actual task parameters are appended.

Another difference is that the task function is expected to return a string to ABA. If the return string is empty, the default name is inserted instead.
