defaults name_generation geometry

Allows you to set the name-generation prefixes for geometric entities.

Format:

 
defaults name_generation geometry
arc_prefix =
string
block_prefix =
string
circle_prefix =
string
cylinder_prefix =
string
ellipsoid_prefix =
string
frustum_prefix =
string
force_prefix =
string
spring_damper_prefix =
string
torus_prefix =
string
revolution_prefix =
string
extrusion_prefix =
string
note_prefix =
string
polyline_prefix =
string
bspline_prefix =
string
outline_prefix =
string

Example:

 
defaults name_generation geometry &
arc_prefix =
my_arc &
block_prefix =
my_block &
torus_prefix =
my_torus
After the above command is executed, all arcs created will have names MY_ARC_2, MY_ARC_3 and so on, all blocks will have names MY_BLOCK_2, MY_BLOCK_3 and so on, and all toruses created will have names MY_TORUS_2, MY_TORUS_3 and so on.

Extended Definition:

1. Normally, text strings 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 text string in double quotes, you may use other printable characters, or start the name with a numeral. If a text string contains other printable characters, or starts with a numeral, you must always quote the text string when entering it.
