A Pointer is a particular type of attribute. The pointer attribute values are a set of pointers pointing to different locations in the project. The location comprises in this case the current projection, the focus object, the type of view and the current variant. If the pointer values are defined, you can go directly from the current diagram to the new location by using the right-click menu, Goto and the chosen pointer.
If the value is empty, Edit... is displayed and you cannot find Goto in the right-click menu. If the value is defined, its name is displayed, and if several pointers are displayed, only the first name is displayed with along with ....
Pointer attributes cannot be assigned default values.
