The ID and Name boxes allow you to name and identify the object. The ID is a unique designation which is only used once on an illustration. Arbortext IsoDraw automatically suggests a unique ID when you create the object info. This consists of the characters AUTOID_ and a number. You can change this unique ID at any time if you choose. Your entry will be checked to ensure it is unique. It will only be accepted if it has not been used for another object. Initially, the Name box will be empty. You can enter your own name in this box - it needs not necessarily be unique.

It is up to you what form these entries take. The ID, for example, could be a unique number which identifies a particular object. The name could be e.g. the spare parts number of the object. If you use this system, you can identify every object uniquely, even if one spare part occurs several times with the same number.

ID and name are used later to identify the object or evaluate clicks in an interactive environment. These entries must therefore correspond to specific rules to ensure that no problems arise later.
