User Defined Attributes

You can extend the allowed attributes for any element type, including a UDET, by defining UDAs (user defined attributes). 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.
