Description

The Attribute keyword is an object keyword which is used to set attributes of a fixture.

The default function of attributes is Call. If you call an attribute, you can use the encoders to modify the values. Calling attributes also selects the attributes in the fixture sheet.

    Important:
    The number of an attribute may vary if new fixtures and attributes are added to the show file. We recommend you use the unique library name of attributes. 
    Hint:
    • Attributes are organized by subattributes;
    • Subattributes are organized by features;
    • Features are organized by feature groups.
