1. Default. In this case the default rule ANY defined in the > is used when renaming the file. The entries can not be edited for this source
2. Global. In case a rule exists for the given file name in the global part names list it will be applied to this file name when renaming. The entries can not be edited in the Component Editor. Changes to global rules must be applied in the EMX Options directly.
3. Local. In case a local source is defined the part name rule will be save directly to the EMX BOM_INFO section in the library dat file. Rules with local source are used with highest priority. In case a global rule exists for the same file name, the local rule will substitute the global rule. The entries for local rules can be edited directly in the Component Editor
