PREFIX

Function: Defines the prefix for a symbol name.
Syntax: PREFIX prefix_string;

This command is used in the device editor mode to determine the initial characters of automatically generated symbol names when a symbol is placed in a schematic using the ADD command.

Example

PREFIX U;

If this command is used when editing, for example, a 7400 device, then gates which are later placed in a schematic using the ADD command will be allocated the names U1, U2, U3 in sequence. These names may be changed later with the NAME command.
