Usage

Storing Values

By default PME stores property values in Add-on Preferences. If you want to store some custom data in .blend files you need to assign the property to some type.

For example, if you assign MyProperty to Object type, the data will be stored in .blend files for each object in the scene:

Property storing example

Now you can use MyProperty like any other Object’s property:

C.object.MyProperty = True

Functions

Property functions

Scripting

To get the value of the Property by its name use props() function:

value = props("MyProperty")
value = props().MyProperty

To set the value use:

props("MyProperty", value)
props().MyProperty = value

Custom tab usage example:

L.prop(props(), "MyBoolProperty", text=slot, icon='COLOR_GREEN' if props("MyBoolProperty") else 'COLOR_RED')
