2.6. Define Attributes for the Serialized Items

You can define the attributes that the serialized items may have in the prt_attributes.cfg file.

Note: It is possible to add attributes dynamically.  However, adding attributes to prt_attributes.cfg avoids the trouble of continuously having to add the attribute for each item that is created. You can also write a BCE script that handles this, but when you edit prt_attributes.cfg the attributes are always there.

The Command window opens in the TRK61 directory..

  1. Type cd master to change to the TRK61 master directory.
