Extract attribute definitions in a project

Does anyone have a dxl to extract the attribute definitions for all modules in a project? We need to consolidate our definitions to make them more consistent but first we have to know what everyone has been using.

Assuming you mean OBJECT rather than MODULE attributes, the following will display them for the current module. You just need to loop thru all modules, and copy/paste or stream the output to an Excel file:
  

print "Type Name\tBase Type\tValues\n";
AttrType at;
for at in current Module do {
int i;
print (at.name)"\t"(at.type)"";
if (at.type"" == "Enumeration") {
for ( i = 0; i < at.size; i++){
print "\t"at.strings[i];
}
}
print "\n"
}

Thank you for the dxl. I am not a programmer and I do understand what loop through means but do you have an example of how to do that?

I really appreciate your help.

Sorry, no time to do this for you. Instead, I suggest you use the attached DXL, which can be used to run this (or any other DXL) on selected modules.

For one (current) module you can use the documentModuleAtrribsView20.dxl script from the page http://beaver-consulting.awardspace.com/DoorsDXL.htm
