Regarding changing &using multiple tools at same time through vizconnect

[Jeff]

The vizconnect file worked for me. Make sure you set the item list for both the grabber and highlighter in the script that imports the configuration. For example:

shapes = [pyramid,torus,box]

grabber = vizconnect.getRawTool('grabber')
grabber.setItems(shapes)

highlighter = vizconnect.getRawTool('highlighter')
highlighter.setItems(shapes)

If you map the same input signals to multiple tools I'm not sure if both tools will work at the same time. However, in most cases you probably would want only one of those tools enabled at a time.
