I was getting ready to suggest an "import" function for EZ-Scripts but merge is one better:) I can see it being used a lot for EZ-Scripts. Awesome addition.

And the pause and WaitForChange commands give a new way for scripting, one which makes it easier in some cases.

Brilliant work!

Try clicking auto arrange, you may be suffering from the scrolling problem that happens to some people on occasion.

Csa459,

Make sure ARC is opening your project and not it's default (starting) and empty project. This happened to me a couple times when I moved my .EZB project to a different folder location. Then when I updated I just let the installer install the new update to it's default location. The result was a new .EZB file in one location and my .EZB project file in the other. When ARC opens it starts the new EZB file it made at the update.
