- Mass tab:
- Mass group (since CS 17)
- Mass case (since CS 17)
- Mass combination (since CS 17)
- Point mass (since CS 17)
- Other:
- Portion (since CS 17)
Object attribute:
The requested object attribute. The available selection of object attributes depends on the object type, which is automatically determined based on the given object ID. The available object attributes can be found at the detailed description of object types below.
In case we have an object ID, and don't know the type of the object it identifies, the type can also be queried with the Object_Type attribute for every accepted object type.
Further information about object attributes can be found at the CREATE and SET commands.
Output variable:
The name of the variable that will store the retrieved value of the specified attribute.
