Dictionary
v1.5
The dictionary object contains application definitions such as
siFamily objects. It also provides a very handy way to get an
object using it's path name with the Dictionary.GetObject method.
The Dictionary object is a member of the Application object.
Note: This object should not be confused with the "Scripting.Dictionary" ActiveX object
available to JScript and VBScript. The Scripting.Dictionary object is useful as a collection
for handling named values, whereas this object provides information only about Softimage objects.
Tip: See siFamily for a list of available families in the object model.
