Return values

If successful, a list of associated lists of all the attributes of all the features of the specified feature layer in the drawing.
If failed, a list is returned with the first value of nil, then an associated list is returned containing the key value Error and an associated error message as a string: (nil ( "Error" . "<message>")).

Failed returned values

A failed return value can occur for any of the following reasons:

(nil ("Error" . "Feature layer not found."))
The specified feature layer does not exist in the file.
(nil ("Error" . "Field not found."))
The specified field was not found.
(nil ("Error" . "Subtype not found."))
