Object debugging

It's unclear what you're asking about. If you're asking why the tab for the specific signer isn't showing up, please verify the anchor string "/sn1/" actually exists in your document.

Try removing the anchor string and just place the tab at a specific location - does it show up then? That could be an indication that the anchor string is not found.

In short, this is not a SDK related issue as your envelope is created as expected. I suggest that you post your question on Stackoverflow - https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=docusignapi, if you haven't already done so.
