How can I Find The information about xml ID ?

puts $lXmlFile {<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<DialogControls>
<Control Type="EDIT" Enable="TRUE" Visible="TRUE" Id="16009">}
puts $lXmlFile "<Value><!\[CDATA\[$lPartName\]\]></Value>"
puts $lXmlFile {</Control>
<Control Type="EDIT" Enable="TRUE" Visible="TRUE" Id="16006">}
puts $lXmlFile "<Value><!\[CDATA\[$lSecLength\]\]></Value>"
puts $lXmlFile {</Control>
<Control Type="EDIT" Enable="TRUE" Visible="TRUE" Id="16012">
<Value><![CDATA[U]]></Value>
</Control>
<Control Type="GROUPBOX" Enable="TRUE" Visible="TRUE" Id="-1">

    Hi ,

    The code snippet appears to come from the Create Part from Spreadsheet Tcl script. In that, you cannot add or modify part properties. After the parts are created, you must traverse the parts within the .olb  library to update their properties.

    Please refer to the following article and update your script accordingly:
    Title: How can I add/delete one common property to/from all parts present in a library at once?
    URL: https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?id=a1Od0000000nYBdEAM&pageName=ArticleContent

    Hope this helps!

    Dear TechnoBobby

    I added "add_prop_lib" the end of the TCL  code

    add_prop_lib {$lib_path} {test_item}{test_value}

    but the program has ended to caution.

    and there is no way to change package Footprint

    Hi  ,

    Please try the script below. It retrieves the active library currently open in Capture and updates the specified package property on the specified part. Just ensure that no part is opened in edit mode while running the script.

    Hope this helps!

    proc add_pkg_prop {PkgName lProp lValue} {
    set lStatus [DboState]
    set NullObj NULL
    set lCProp [DboTclHelper_sMakeCString $lProp]
    set lCValue [DboTclHelper_sMakeCString $lValue]

    # Get Active library
    set lSrcLib [GetActivePMLastLibrary]
    if {$lSrcLib == $NullObj} {
    puts "ERROR: No Active library"
    return
    }

    # Iterate packages
    set lPkgIter [$lSrcLib NewPackagesIter $lStatus]
    set lPackage [$lPkgIter NextPackage $lStatus]
    while {$lPackage != $NullObj} {
    # Package name
    set pkgCStr [DboTclHelper_sMakeCString]
    $lPackage GetName $pkgCStr
    set Pkg_Name [DboTclHelper_sGetConstCharPtr $pkgCStr]

    if {$Pkg_Name== $PkgName} {
    $lPackage SetEffectivePropStringValue $lCProp $lCValue
    puts "Property: $lProp updated on Part: $Pkg_Name"
    }

    # puts $lPackage
    set lPackage [$lPkgIter NextPackage $lStatus]
    }
    delete_DboLibPackagesIter $lPkgIter
    }

    # Example usage:
    add_pkg_prop "Part1" "PCB Footprint" "smdcap"
