User-defined attribute

Available for building object marks.

Adds a user-defined attribute to the mark. You can also use template fields for user-defined attributes.

In marks, you cannot use template attributes such as MODEL_TOTAL that refer to the whole model. Marks only check the information from the object in the drawing and not from the whole model.

For more information about adding user-defined attributes in marks, see Add attributes in automatic marks.
