Specifies whether the layer name includes a text-string modifier, and if so, the location of the modifier:
- None: No modifier.
- Prefix: Modifier is added at the beginning of the layer name.
- Suffix: Modifier is added at the end of the layer name.
- Modifier Value

Specifies the text string to use as the modifier. You can enter an asterisk (*) to include the object name as the modifier in the layer name and to put each named object on its own layer. For example, if C-ROAD is the name specified for alignment layers and you add -* as a suffix, an alignment named overpass is created on layer C-ROAD-OVERPASS.
