Can FeatureScript Notices be directed to another Browse Tab or Screen?

eldon_browneldon_brown Member Posts: 41 ✭✭
Like most, I use "FeatureScript Notices" while Debugging a FeatureScript. But to be most useful, it uses too much of the screen space while trying to reviewing code and review the Notices at the same time.  

It would really be helpful if FS Notices could be directed to another Browser Tab where the tab could be un-docked to another display screen.

If FS Notices had its own URL-link (or port number) this would make it easy to open for the user on any display or tab as desired.

I have tried to open a single Onshape FS Project twice, once in each of two windows/screens, where one has full screen code window, and the other is where the FS Notices is maximized, but that did not work for me.

Maybe I have missed something, but I have not found a solution online.

Thanks, any suggestions welcome.

    That is the correct way to do it, so I don't know why it doesn't work for you. Although, make sure the second window is the Part Studio (not the code window) where the feature is being tested that has the FS notices panel open.

    The only options to get more space are to get a bigger screen or change the zoom level of the browser to get more screen space.

     @caden_armstrong has recently published Chrome extension which saves FS notices in txt file. Probably it should be possible to also show them in new tab. https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/22630/new-chrome-extension-to-export-featurescript-notices-output#latest
