• This function can only be used after OpenInterface or CreateInterface and CreateInterfaceEntity, or alternatively after a successful intake of an file with Interface Definitions.
• This function is analogous to the built-in action “interface element”. The use of this function is not recommended when TestArchitect is used to control the automation.
