Primitive list
[Desktop Automation]
This object provides access to the primitive generators as they are available in the part library. It is created by the system method createprimitivelist().
Important: Generating this list first before running the actual generator of choice is always required even when a generator of just one type is to be used. Once generated, it may be used for multiple primitive generators of same or different type.
