User Defined Attributes

You can extend the allowed attributes for any element type, including a /ser Defined Element Type (UDET), by defining User Defined Attributes (UDAs). For example, you could define a UDA called :SUPPLIER of type string on all piping components. The newly defined UDA will then exist on all applicable elements, existing and new. If the definition of a UDA is changed then this will also apply to all existing instances.

Having defined a UDA, it is accessed in the same way as any other attribute.
