Attribute Groups
Library nodes define classes by dictating a set of attributes that make up that class.
For example, if we have a Part Library with a Part Family class node called "Screws", and the "Screws" class is assigned the "Thread pitch" and "length" attributes, then any part added into the "Screws" part family acquires the attributes of a screw, which are Thread pitch and length.
In this example, two attributes were associated with the Screws part
family. Instead of individually assigned attributes, you can cluster attributes
associated with a class into groups. Any given class can have any number of
attribute groups. For example, the class "Screw" could pick up a Pricing
attribute group in addition to
TpiAndLen
(an attribute group that contains Thread
pitch and length).
Attribute groups can also be inherited from a class to its children. See About Attribute Inheritance.
