Identification Tips
-
Assign short descriptive names to graphic elements. Default names are created for layers by concatenating Choice Group and Choice names. Shorter names reduce the number of Option and Layer rules that will extend beyond the borders of Rule field of the Symbol Wizard Editor.
-
Use a standard naming convention for the graphic elements of a Symbol Wizard. Using a standard naming convention groups similar functional graphic elements together in the list shown in the Elements pane. This makes it easier to find graphic elements when a Symbol Wizard contains many graphic elements. Also, the names of layers appear in alphabetic order.
