Attribute Naming

Generate default
When the user adds a new attribute to an entity, a default name, such as Attribute_1, is generated and default settings are applied in the Position box on the Attribute tab. To edit an attribute name, select it on the Attribute tab in the Entity window and type it in the Name box.
