To Define Designations for Schematic Line Styles

When you draw a schematic line, you can select a designation for the line on the Properties palette. The designation is a text ID that helps you to identify the line in the layout. The style you select for the line determines the list of designation IDs from which you can choose; you can select an ID from the list or enter a different one.
