All class attributes are available as variables. You can define your own variables, or you can use the CIMPLICITY attributes.

CIMPLICITY predefined variables, which are:

Object ID, e.g. \TANK1.

$ID

ID of the data item, e.g. \LEVEL.

$CLASS

Class ID, e.g. \GefTank.

Use brackets {} to enclose variable values. (Brackets are also used for variables in CimEdit.)
