create hidden property axlDBCreatePropDictEntry

Hi

Is there a way to create a property that cannot be changed inside a .brd file? It could also be that it cannot be seen inside the brd file without using skill to access it? According to the documentation on axlDBCreatePropDictEntry this should be possible, but I've had no luck defining such a property.

E.g., I've tried the following where the t at the end should denote hidden according to the documentation. 

axlDBCreatePropDictEntry("Rev" "STRING" "SYMBOLS" nil "" t)

This does not work however.

Best regards

Ole

     you hide a property from the UI but you can't create a property that is read-only

    Hi

    If I create the property listed above on a .dra file - I can still see it using show element and Edit, Properties inside a .brd file.

    Best regards

    It still appears visible in the UI (Edit->Properties... and Show Element) for me in 16.01 S49.
