Hi,

Is there a way to have a view of all overlay error occur in a project?

Regards

Arnaud

No, because the Views of a project aren’t “running” or active until they’re opened in a session. You could use automated testing software to open a project and visit each known page, but setting this up would probably require more research than it would be worth for you.

Why is it that this trying to code something like this seems way more appealing than my regularly scheduled deadlines.

I have a script that iterates through every component on a perspective view already. Is there a way to programatically call the “Run Diagnostics” feature on a component and get some return object?
