The attribute is identified using its name, and is retrieved as a object.
Parameters:
iAttribute
The attribute name
Returns:
The retrieved attribute
Example: 
 The following example retrieves in Diameter the attribute 
 MfgDiameter of the tool assembly CurrentAssembly:
 
 Set Diameter = CurrentAssembly.GetAttribute(MfgDiameter)
Func GetAttributeNLSName( iAttributeName) As
Returns the NLS value of an attribute.
Parameters:
iAttributeName
The attribute name
Returns:
The attribute NLS value
Example: 
 The following example gives in NLSresult the NLS value of the "MFG_COMMENT" attributes
