Editing attribute values of user-defined attributes

For a lot of network object types, a window is displayed when creating or editing a network object in which you can specify attribute values. For these network object types, you can modify attribute values as follows.

Notes: User-defined attributes of the type network can be on the menu Network > Network settings on the User-defined attributes tab or in the Network attributes list.

The attribute values of user-defined attributes of the type node are edited in the junction editor (Editing a node in the junction editor). Here you can also edit the user-defined attribute values of turns, lanes, etc.

1.  Create a user-defined attribute for the desired network object type (Creating a user-defined attribute).

2.  Insert a network object of the network object type or edit a corresponding network object.

The Create <Network object type> window or the Edit <Network object type> window opens.

3.  Select the User-defined attributes tab.

Notes: The tab is only displayed if a user-defined attribute exists for the network object type. It contains a list of all user-defined attributes of the network object type.

4.  If required, use the buttons to select the attributes to be displayed.

Element

Description

Show all

Click the button to display all user-defined attributes.

Rows

Use the button to select the user-defined attributes in a separate window that you want to display (Selection of multiple attributes).

5.  In the Value column of the row of the desired attribute, enter the desired value.

  • Attribute of type file: Via the button, select the desired file.
  • Attribute of type Bool: Tick the checkbox.
  • Other types: Click the cell and enter a number or a text.

Note: In case of direction-based network object types (links, connectors) an attribute value is highlighted in yellow if the attribute values of the two directions differ.

6.  Enter the desired value.

7.  Confirm with OK.

The attribute value is changed.

Notes: You can also edit the attribute values of user-defined attributes like other attribute values (Editing attribute values of network objects and Editing attribute values in a list).

Exception: You cannot edit the attribute values of user-defined formula attributes. Therefore, the user-defined formula attributes are not displayed in the Edit <network object type> window, User-defined attributes tab and the Multi-edit <network object type> windows.

In the List (Attributes), you can change the formula of a user-defined attribute by clicking the symbol in the Formula column to open the formula editor.
