Re: Scripting: How to query available Objects?

["Ponthieux, Joey" <j.ponthieux(at)nasa.gov>]

Yeah I have access to that from the Tools Development Environment 
layout. It's close to what I am looking for but it appears to only 
useful for things which are loaded into the scene or are accessible by 
the explorer. For example, say I create an XSICollection via a script, I 
want to see the information for that in SDK Explorer, is that possible?
