Messages Variables
The short description of {1} {0} is invalid {1} - Short-described object type (Block, Function, Function Build list, Function Design, Function Diagram, Highway, Message, Port, Signal) {0} - Short-described object (Block, Function, Function Build list, Function Design, Function Diagram, Highway, Message, Port, Signal) name
