Lets you edit the name of the filter.

Note: If the No name check option is cleared in Tools > Options > 3D Shape Infrastructure > Display tab, Checking Operation When Renaming area, a check is performed to ensure that two filters do not bear the same name in a given layout. If a filter with the same name already exists in the layout, the previous filter name is restored, and an information message is displayed.
