A STEP attribute is a characteristic or detailed piece of information related to STEP objects (i.e., Products, Image & documents, Classifications, Link types, Data containers).
There are two types of Attributes: Description and Specification. Both types of Attributes are stored within Attribute Groups. For more information, refer to the Description Attributes, Specification Attributes, and Attribute Groups sections of this guide.
