This dialog box is part of the command for creating sheet port objects. The parameters allow you to specify the quantity (up to a maximum of 32), the spacing and the name.
Name
The full name assigned to the object consists of a fixed part and a variable index. In this box the fixed part of the name must be specified using the character '%' to indicate the position in which to insert the index. The index is queued to the name if its position is not specified.
index
The full name assigned to the object consists of a fixed part and a variable index. In this box you can specify the initial value of the index to be hung on the name.

The value of the index is automatically increased by one, you can specify a different value for the increment by separating it from the index with a comma.
