Appendix A, Attribute Codes
version 6.0
Attributes are the characteristics of objects, such as fill pattern or color. In 4D Draw several commands refer to attributes using numeric codes. Use this Appendix to determine the correct field types when binding attributes to fields, and the correct array types when filling arrays and modifying objects in the commands DR ATTRIBUTE TO ARRAY and DR ARRAY TO ATTRIBUTE.
The Ideal type is the best possible choice. Types listed under Other types are alternates but some data may be lost when information is transferred. Note the restrictions on certain attributes.
