Extended Definition:
1. When using the Adams View command language and naming entities, you can use the name later to refer to this entity. Adams View does not allow you to have two entities with the same name, so you must provide a unique name. Normally, entity names are composed of alphabetic, numeric, or '_' (underscore) characters, and start with an alphabetic or '_' character. They may be of any length. For more information, see
Using Extended Names.
By enclosing the name in double quotes, you can use other printable characters, or start the name with a numeral. If a name contains characters, or starts with a numeral, you must always quote the name when entering it.
Note that you can specify the parentage of an entity (for example, what part "owns" a marker or a geometry element) when you create it by changing the name. If you enter just the entity name, then Adams View assigns the default parent. If you type in the full name, then you can override the default parent. In most cases, when creating an entity, Adams View provides a default name. The default name that Adams View provides specifies the parentage that it has assumed. You can, of course, delete this name and use your own. The form of a full name is:
"...._NAME.GRAND_PARENT_NAME.PARENT_NAME.ENTITY_NAME"
The number of levels used varies from case to case and the parentage must exist before an entity can be assigned to it.
