GetObject (Dictionary)
Description
Returns an existing object that corresponds to a full path name. In other words, it converts from a string representation of a Softimage object to the Object Model representation. This is similar to the GetValue command. However, in the case of Parameter objects, Dictionary.GetObject returnz the Parameter object and GetValue returns the parameter value (see the example below).
To convert in the other direction (from an Object Model representation to a string), use SIObject.FullName.
