Vis Automations · In-app tool, Automation Scripts menu

Model Inspector

A Python tool that Vis lists in its own Automation Scripts menu: it attaches to the open session, reads every part, selects the largest, retitles the view, adds a snapshot and writes a report.

Verification NOT fully passing on Vis 2606.0 build 26134 + 2606.2610 · 2026-10-29 · repo tc-vis-automation 9f1b0af · The tool, the menu launch and restart persistence work; registration by registry does not.

Two kinds of run on the engine example. First the script launched through its .py file association against a Vis started by hand, which is exactly what the menu’s ShellExecute does. Then the real menu: the script added once through Manage Scripts and clicked from ☰ Menu › Automation Scripts. Every result is read back from Vis or the operating system: the process id, the selected-node count, the window title, the snapshot count, the capture’s pixels.
