Block Group Name Prefix

This defines the prefix added to the a group in PCB created from a Schematic Block.

For example, In Schematics, on Block B1 you have Create PCB Group checked and the Block Group Name Prefix is Block_ in PCB, the resultant PCB group name for the block group will be Block_B1.

Note, by leaving the prefix name blank, the Group name will be that of the block name used in schematics.
