In Simevents how does an entity output switch set to attributes for switching chose an outlet port for each attribute?

I have an entity output switch using the attribute entity.phase the phase can have a value 1,2 or 3. I have set the output switch to have 3 outlet ports, but not defined anywhere I can see how the switch chooses an outlet for the attribute? How is the switch using the attribute?

Hi Andrew,

You just set the switch to use the attribute, which is the phase attribute. The fact that you set the attribute to have the value 1, 2 or 3 is perfect. It basically assigns a port to the integer value of the attribute, so the first port goes to 1, the second to 2, and the third to 3.

Thanks - it all seemed logical, but hard to find documented.
