Defining Element Naming Conventions

The Name Convention form is displayed when you select the Naming Conventions button on the Draft System Defaults form.

The form is divided into two parts:

• MANDATORY NAMES, that is names for the elements which must be named in order for the application to function correctly: DEPT, REGI, DRWG, SHEE and VIEW. For example, drawing numbers typically have a common project related prefix, which you should enter, in the Prefix box for the Drawing element.

• OPTIONAL NAMES for the elements which do not need to be named for the application to function: VNOT, NOTE, RRUL and VSEC. For these elements, use the Named check box button to specify whether or not automatic naming is required.
