Scenario

There are a number of Connect commands available for the scenario or all objects in the scenario.

Since only one scenario can be open at any given time in STK, you can substitute the scenario name with a wildcard (*) so that the <ObjectPath> is Scenario/* or just *. For example, you could type Scenario/* for Scenario/stkDemo, where * refers to the scenario loaded.
