With PlotShape command ( and I guess all the commands returning an
ISIVTCollection ) your code with a for loop doesn't work ( or I missed
something ).

Hi Jaiviier,<br><br>I always use the enumerator object with collections. I find it faster to write it using a right clic in the script editor ( of course you can also choose a "for loop" in the right clic menu but you must write ".count" and clean up the line ).
<br>From the Jscript documentation, the enumerator object is designed to enumerate a collection so it should always work fine with ... collection :-) .<br><br>With <span class="e" id="q_113c5eff4335b2f8_2">PlotShape command ( and I guess all the commands returning an ISIVTCollection ) your code with a for loop doesn't work ( or I missed something ).
