After this steps, Visual Studio Code is connected to Allplan and the PythonPart scripts can be debugged with the provided functionality.

Needed settings in Visual Studio Code

To get the entry Attach to Allplan, the following tags must exist in the launch.json file or the launch part of the current Visual Studio Code workspace file.

{
“version”: “0.2.0”,
“configurations”: [
{
“name”: “Attach to Allplan”,
“port”: 5678,
“host”: “localhost”,
“request”: “attach”,
“type”: “python”,
},
]
},

If the PythonPart script CreateVisualStudioCodeWorkspace was executed to create the workspace, these tags are already present.
