Changing attributes using console command or script?

Console501

Hi,

Can anybody please help me develop a script for changing the values of "attributes"  of a certain component.

say i want to make the $LOCATION or the Tolerance of a certain Capacitor upon user click or selection.

Any help, even if just console commands will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

    Navigate to the page where the target component is located.

    Locate the component using the "FIND" command.

    Modify the target attribute using the "AUTO PROPERTY" command.

    For example: If the component C2 is on page 1 and you need to change its TOLERANCE value to 20%, you would select page 1 in the hierarchy viewer and enter the following commands in the command console:

     

    set nextgroup A

    Find *LOCATION=C2

    Include bodies

    AUTO PROPERTY A TOLERANCE=20%

    write

    Thanks Gowtham P, 

    appreciate your prompt response, we are almost there,

    sorry my question is not so clear,

    this is what i need,

    1. when i click a certain component, the  LOCATION will be visible

    2. when i click on a certain component, the tolerance will be visible

    and

    there should be another command to set these attributes  invisible.

    the key here is that the user need to type the command, then click on a respective component or select a few component by group then the attributes will change.

    Cheers,

    Not sure if DEHDL allows interactive commands.

    But you can use the "display invisible" command to hide the property values.

    For example:

    set nextgroup A

    Find *LOCATION=C2

    Include bodies

    AUTO PROPERTY A TOLERANCE=20%

    display invisible A
