So looking at the script class ToolTests, the following will display for me a tooltip with the tag name (I know that there is an extension that does this). def onMouseMove(flags, x, y, view) ph = view.pick_helper(x, y) entity = ph.best_picked layer = entity.layer view.tooltip = layer.name end I’ve been trying to build on t…
