You can associate data and information to objects using attributes. For example, you can add attributes to symbols to store the price of a component and the manufacturer's code so you can include this information directly in the component list.
Attributes are characterized by a name, a category and a value. There are two types of attributes:
Internal attributes. Internal attributes can be associated with any object. The value of an internal attribute cannot be displayed directly in a drawing.
Graphic attributes. Graphic attributes are objects of type Attribute and can only be associated with the following object types: group, symbol, sheet. Graphic attributes can be used to display the value of internal attributes. See To display the internal attributes of symbols in the drawing.
