AttributeSet.Add method - how to add attribute

[Cris-Ideas]

Hi,

I have a problem with adding attributes to an attribute set.

Attribute set was created and I can print its name, so I assume it is there

I now need to add attributes to the set.

But cannot get Add method to work.

Can someone en-light me how do I add attribute? (I need various types: string, byte array, boolean.)

I tried like this:

attr = occAttributeSet.Add("0001TopName", ValueTypeEnum.kStringType, SattrName)

and like this:

occAttributeSet.Add("0006DefaultInPre", ValueTypeEnum.kStringType, "Off")

But I am getting run time exception every time.

Cris.

Hi,

As first use attSet.NameIsUsed[attName] to check attribute with given name already exists.  Then check if attset is not null. Latest problem can be using attributeSets instead of attributeSet.

In inventor structure is AttributeSets-AttributeSet-Attribute.

Thanks,

Martin

In this particular case it turned out that name of the attribute cannot start with digit.
