The GetParameterType command takes a single option part, which must be the name of an NX part in which the specified parameter occurs.

The GetParameterType command determines the type of the specified parameter in an open NX part. If no part= option is given, then the parameter is taken to be in the current work part.

The type is returned in the form of a Maple string describing the NX type of the parameter. Note that this is not a Maple type, but rather the name of the NX type.
