Hi @Rhino_Bulgaria ,

Save the python code below as a .py file and [call it by creating a new Alias](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/running-python-scripts-from-aliases-or-toolbar-buttons/47290):

```python
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs

id_L = rs.GetObjects('Select objects to show their name and layer', preselect=True)

for id in id_L:
    name = rs.ObjectName(id)
    layer = rs.ObjectLayer(id)
    print( 'name: {}, layer: {}'.format(name, layer) )

```

I think you will figure out, if you would like to remove “name” or “layer” from the command menu printout.
