AN1009 - Scope and Name Searching

When you use a named object's name in a reference (e.g. "myPageFrame.oh" or "image7.ow") in a script or a layout rule, how does SHIPTide "find" that object? If there are two objects or more with the same name in your GUI, and you reference that name, which one does it pick to refer to?

This app note discusses how SHIPTide does "name searching" and the various developer options to control and manage unexpected behavior.

This video app note is currently in production; thanks for your patience.
