Scripts to Toggle "Show Other Objects While In Groups" Setting

[Ethan]

Hi,

I am looking for a script or a set of scripts that will toggle the "Show Other Objects While In Groups" setting in displays.

I am running Vectorworks Designer 2008 in Mac OS X. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot!
