Attributes to edges

Maya
1

i'm looking for a way to connect some piece of information to a set of edges. because edges cannot contain attributes in mel, i was thinking of an array of edge numbers and their attributes, but edge numbers change while modelling. So does anybody know a way to adres the same edge all the time, preferably something attribute like.

thanks

does "blind data" work with edges..?

you could use a set instead of an array as sets (somehow?) manage to keep track of their original components even after the most complex and damaging editing...

blind data works great, even keeps track of the data after breaking the edges. In that case all the small new parts get the same blind data attributes of the original.

Also, you might be able to use selection sets to hold the edges and then apply your attributes to the set.
