Object tree browser library?

[Ryan McCuaig]

A few years ago, I used a debugging vwlibrary that Vlado had made available. It gave a nested, searchable view of the entire object tree (layers, child elements, etc) within Vectorworks.

 

My memory's not what it once was and I can't find where I downloaded this back then. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks

You first need to enable the debug menu. If you're using 2021, you can use the partner products installer to do this. Otherwise, it's a VS command.

Then select Debug List View Ex...

Thanks. I'm working on some plug-ins back in 2019 and 2020 ... I had thought it was in the SDK download, but I don't see it (only the Batch Encrypt vwlibrary). I'm not sure I'm following where the VS command would be.

Run a script with the line 

EnableDebugMenu;

and restart.

Right on, thank you.

 

Now that I'm not spacing on the name, I'm finding all the references in the dev wiki. For others and posterity, here's the reference:
