Is there a more efficient way for me to copy/paste coordinates of vertices and edges?

[Anonymous]

Right now I use the transform type-in tool and I have to click in the field copy the coordinates then pick the vertex or edge I want to move and paste it in the field.

More up to date in what sense?

I wasn't sure because it's so old that it will cause some kind of conflict with current versions of max. Since it's over 15 years old.

Surprised something similar hasn't been built into the core program by now.

But I could be mistaken I haven't been in this space for a very long time. You tell me.

Unless a script relies on removed functionality (like reactor or mental ray), you should be able to run scripts from the turn of the century in current max without issues. This is a simple script so no such issues. Aligning to one or multiple coords is usually done with snaps (with axis constraints on) which is in general the most efficient way.
