Guidelines for Naming Elements
Designer places some restrictions on the characters you can use in element and package names. Specifically, element and package names cannot contain:
*Reserved words and characters that are used in Java or C/C++ (such as for, while, and if).
*Digits as their first character (This does not apply to packages.)
*Spaces.
*Control characters and special characters like periods (.), including:
?
'
-
#
=
)
(
.
/
\
;
&
@
^
!
|
}
{
`
>
<
%
*
:
$
]
[
"
+
,
~
*Characters outside of the basic ASCII character set, such as multi-byte characters.
If you specify a name that disregards these restrictions, Designer displays an error message. When this happens, use a different name or try adding a letter or number to the name to make it valid.
