Hi Elaine,

Thanks for your reply. I figured out how to save it using the GUI, but I was wondering if there is a command line option to accomplish this. Sorry I should have made my question clear.

Thank You.

Hi Thiru,
You can save attribute values to a file from the Render by Attribute tool. Start that tool (under Tools... Depiction, for example), then choose "File.. Save Attributes" from its menu.  In the resulting dialog, you can specify which attribute you want to save.

General information on attributes:

Saving attributes:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
