You can use this function to assign new values to several objects in a table.

Prerequisites

All characteristics and objects are assigned to the same class, which you specify at the top. Characteristics can be inherited.

  1. Enter the class type and a class. 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.

  2. Specify the characteristics to which you want to assign values. To find characteristics, display the possible entries. If you want to use all characteristics of the class you specified or another class, choose Chars of class.
