AddOat Method (Component Object)

Scope: Schematic editor

Prerequisites: None

Sets the instance value (formerly referred to as an OAT) for a component attribute.

Note:

If there is no attribute that matches the String argument, a new attribute is created. You can determine which attribute instance value is being set with the “InstanceValue Property (Attribute Object)”, which serves as a better alternative for this operation.

Usage

Component.AddOat(ByVal text As String) As IVdAttr

Arguments

text: The attribute instance value string, taking the form: NAME=VALUE

Return Values

As Attribute. The newly created Attribute Object.
