Control movement with wire parameters

Hi guys,

I'm try to link some object by wire parameters but I don't understand one thing.

I just want move the dummy in the image and control ONLY the movement of the three object NOT the position.

I have a scene with a lot of object and when I click "connect" they all move to the Dummy coordinate.

I know that I can insert the offset value for each object but It takes a lot of time because It comes from a large CAD file and every object has coordinate value like 547,554.....

There's another way?

 

Thanks

"...control ONLY the movement of the three object NOT the position."

 

If you move an object you are changing its position

 

Can you state your requirement in another way?

 

You can move an object as a function of the movement of another object.  For example,

 

sphere position = original sphere position  + 0.5 * (current dummy position - original dummy position)

Thanks for your reply leeminardi.

I found a solution using "freeze transform" (from menu, right click+alt) so you don't need to insert the offset value from the original object (+0.5 in your example).

I took the /2 in your picture to mean you wanted to move the sphere one half the distance that you moved the dummy that is why I had .5*

 

I'm glad you got a working solution.
