SET

Sets or modifies an attribute value of an object.

Syntax

SET [Object ID] [Object attribute] [New value]

Command parameters

Command parameterAssignmentValue formatInput options
Object IDRequiredStringLocal, variable
Object attributeRequiredPredefined stringsLocal, variable
New valueRequiredStringLocal, variable

Object ID:

The ID of the object.

Object IDs from the following object types are accepted:

Object attribute:

The object attribute to be set. The available selection of object attributes depends on the object type, which is autmatically determined based on the object ID. The available object attributes can be found at the detailed description of object types below.

New value:

The new value of the specified attribute.

Sample code

Command only:

SET Object_ID Name "New name"

With object creation:

LOAD_SECTION_LIBRARY section "HEA 200"

CREATE Mem_ID1 Structural_Member "HEA 200"
