BaExtension
This plugin for the symbol explorer creates a filtered object list of symbol types, which consist of types of the object and views of TF8040. The object list is saved as an Instance Watch Template and can be viewed in the Instance Watch Viewer in the Symbol Explorer.
This allows an Instance Watch to be created in a Live View or snapshot that shows all objects of the TF8040 in a filtered manner.
This list can now be exported to Excel, for example, properties can be changed and read in again.
These changes can be incorporated at runtime.
