    Avoid Prefixing Elements that Users Manipulate Directly

    Level

    Suggestion

    Applies to

    ObjectARX, .NET and ObjectDBX modules

    Symbol table entries intended for direct manipulation by the user should not start with a unique prefix. This is because users need to name symbol table entries based on company practice, regional standards, and personal preference.
