Global Objects

Overview

When implementing a script-based extension, you can directly access the following global objects.

Global objects are also available in scripts executed in the script editor.

For Python Scripts

In Python scripts, you can directly access global objects, just like in C#. However, object names are in camelCase, not PascalCase like in C#.

# C# App → Python app
project = app.Workspace.CurrentProject
output.WriteLine("sample", project.Name)

Within a handler, you can also access App from the argument context.

def my_handler(context: ICommandContext, commandParams: ICommandParams):
    app = context.App
    output = app.Workspace.Output
