Settings

$R$E (default) | macro text

Default: $R$E

Enter a macro that specifies whether, and in what order, certain text is to be included in the generated identifier. The macro can include a combination of custom user text and these format tokens:

Token Description

Token	Description
`$E`	Insert the file type. `$E` represents these instances of file types: `capi` `capi_host` `dt` `testinterface` `private` `types` Required. In files of other types, `$E` does not generate text.
`$R`	Insert root model name into identifier, replacing unsupported characters with the underscore (`_`) character. Required for model referencing.
`$U`	Insert text that you specify for the `$U` token. To specify this text, use the Custom token text parameter.

$E

Insert the file type. $E represents these instances of file types:

capi
capi_host
dt
testinterface
private
types

Required. In files of other types, $E does not generate text.

$R

Insert root model name into identifier, replacing unsupported characters with the underscore (_) character.

Required for model referencing.

$U

Insert text that you specify for the $U token. To specify this text, use the Custom token text parameter.

In the generated file name, adjacent tokens are separated by the underscore (_) character, even if a token does not generate text.

Custom naming is supported only for .c and .cpp files. When you have model hierarchy, custom naming is applicable to only the root model.
