Field Substitution Macros
The field substitution macros provide access to data in your model. In particular, they are used to access data fields from:
| · | Packages |
| · | Classes |
| · | Attributes |
| · | Operations |
| · | Parameters |
Field substitution macros are named according to Camel casing. By convention, the macro is prefixed with an abbreviated form of the corresponding model element. For example, attribute-related macros begin with att, as in the %attName% macro, to access the name of the attribute in scope.
Macros that represent checkboxes return a value of T if the box is selected. Otherwise the value is empty.
This table lists a small number of project field substitution macros. See the Learn more section for tables listing groups of type-specific macros.
