The importAnimatic function can only be used while the UI is displayed and cannot be used in batch mode. Please refer to the Scripting Interface documentation for more information.
Adding and Removing Groups Using Scripting
The following new functions for identifying, adding and removing groups and layers in groups have been added to the LayerManager class:
-
addGroupLayer

groupOfLayer
-
isGroupLayer
-
moveLayerBeforeLayer
-
moveLayerInGroup
Please refer to the Scripting Interface documentation for more information.
Improved layer selection in the LayerManager Class
The following changes were made to the LayerManager class to make it easier to select and manipulate layers through scripting:
The new layerIndexFromName function in the LayerManager class was added to easily find the index value of a layer based on its name.
The following commands now allow selecting layers based on either their index or name:
-
isEmpty
-
isShared
-
