The level number can be used as a suffix on many commands that output information about the current element: it causes them to act instead on the current element in an outer loop. E.g. properties of non-properties in the containing loops can be accessed by immediately following the property statement with a level number and a semicolon:

:property local name;levelNumber

E.g. :Documentation;1 refers to the Documentation property of the object in the loop immediately containing the current loop.

If no level number is specified the default is 0, the current loop. Note that outside of all the loops the current element is the element (normally a graph) the generator is being run on. Negative level numbers can also be used: –1 is the element (normally a graph) the topmost generator is being run on, –2 the element within its outermost loop, etc. In generators in symbols, the stack is pre-loaded with the graph and the element whose symbol is being displayed. If the symbol is being displayed as a subsymbol of a template, the stack includes the parent object(s). In identifier generators, the stack is pre-loaded with the element whose identifier is being generated.

When used in a chain clause or chain output command, the level number should come after the first element of the chain:

:Target;1:Intermediate:Trigger
