property
Creates a UserDataMap cluster property for holding user data.
oReturn = CreateUserDataMap( [InputObj], [PropertyName], [Template] ); |
Returns a collection of the newly created properties. If no clusters are specified in the InputObjs argument the returned collection will be empty.
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
InputObj | String | A cluster or a list of
clusters to create user data on
Default Value: Current selection |
PropertyName | String | Name of the user data property. To clearly identify the
property and to avoid conflict with other plugins, it is
recommended that the name reflects the plugin or author of the
plugin.
Default Value: "UserData" |
Template | CustomProperty | Name of the a custom property that will serve as the template for the contents of the user data map. This argument is not necessary if the user data map will be used for storing binary data. |
