Query : General

On the Home tab, in the Common group, click Attributes, select General from the drop-down list to display the Query window. The options on the general query menu allows you to query current data settings.

The options under the top-left drop-down menu are:


Attributes	Outputs the attributes of the current element. Position and orientation data is output using the coordinate system for the element displayed on the Wrt (with respect to) drop-down menu.
Members	Outputs a list of the members of the current element.
Position	Outputs the position of the current element with respect to the element displayed on the Wrt drop-down menu.
Orientation	Outputs the orientation of the current element with respect to the element displayed on the Wrt drop-down menu.
Lists	Outputs a list of all element types which can be created at the current position in the database.
Variables	Outputs the current settings of all global variables.
Synonyms	Outputs the current definitions of all synonyms.

The options under the top-centre drop-down menu are p-point numbers. Selecting one of these outputs the attributes of that p-point for the current element. Positions and directions are given with respect to the element displayed on the Wrt drop-down menu.

Note:

Some of the p-points do not exist for the current element. If you try to specify an invalid p-point, you will see an error alert.

The Specific drop-down menu is only applicable when the current element has attributes which are specific to that element type. For example, if the current element is a Nozzle, the options under Specific is Bore, Direction and Connection. Select the attribute for which you want to output the value.
