Set and Change ValuesYou can use this function as an easy way to change, delete, or create large quantities of assigned characteristic values. Target objects can be classified, or existing assignments can be deleted.
The selected target objects must have the same class type and object type as the template object.
The characteristics must be the same for the target objects and template object.
No interval values are processed. No reference characteristics are processed.
Enter a class type. If the class type is for multiple object types, you see a list of the object types that you can select. Select an object type.
Enter the characteristics whose values you want to change or set. To find characteristics, display the possible entries. To display all the characteristics of a class, choose
Chars of class
and enter the class.
Characteristics: Old and New Values
You can replace old values with new values. You can set completely new values if no value was assigned before, or delete old values.
Use the possible entries to select values.
You can only select
one
value for each line. If you want to process several values, you must select the same characteristic several times.
Changing Values with an Operator
If a characteristic has numeric format, you can use an operator to recalculate values. You can add, subtract, multiply, and divide figures. For character format, the operator fields are grayed out.
