Placing attribute occurrence

Hi,

Does anybody know how to add an attrbute occurrence using a script? I do not see any method to do so in the help guides. I can access already placed attribute occurrences, but not place one myself.

I looked at the Create method on the AttrOcc class, but then the AttrOcc needs to be there already.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Francois du Toit

var attrocc =objoccs[i].AttrOcc(68309).Create(Constants.ATTROCC_RIGHT,db.defaultFontStyle());
            attrocc=objoccs[i].AttrOcc(68309);    
            attrocc.SetOffset(450, 30)
            attrocc.setTextBoxSize(500, 200)

45, 3

With textbox size 50 , 20 .

Hi Misha,

Thank you for the quick response and the correct answer! I tried your method and it worked 100%.

I could not think to use the AttrOcc then the Create commands, as the AttrOcc should not exist at that stage... But seeing it like this makes a bit more sense.

Thanks again.

Kind regards,
