You can create user-defined attributes to add information about reinforcement. Attributes can consist of numbers, text, or lists. You can use the values of user-defined attributes in reports and drawings. To set values for user-defined attributes, click the User-defined attributes button. You can also change the name of the fields, and add new ones, by editing the objects.inp file. See Define and update user-defined attributes (UDAs). |
