Dave,

that makes me wonder.
In the UI there is a simple command to release the anchored object: /Object/Anchored Object/Release

So I expected a simple method to release anchored objects by script too.

But if you dont't know about this method who else will know about it. ;-)

      So, it's cut/paste or store in a library and placeAsset as freeStanding,
      or export to a snippet and bring that back.




This reads very circuitous.

I will look for a way like this:
1. get geometric bounds and item layer of the anchored object
2. app.copy() the anchored object,
3. remove it,
4. make a temporary layer
5. paste to the temporary layer
6. move to the old layer and to the old geometric bounds

Do you think, this could be a highway so do the job?

Thanks
Martin
