Coordinate display / transform type-in values

Anonymous

Is there a way of accessing the values displayed in either the coordinate display or transform type-in boxes?
Nearest I can get is the GetStatusXYZ method which only sets the values in the coordinate display boxes.

thanx

Do it on the selected object itself. You can choose the coordinate system by using (in coordsys *****)



$.transform.position
in coordsys local $.transform.position
in coordsys parent $.transform.position

$.transform.rotation


Hopefully this does what you need. I don't see any need to play with the data in there.

Thanks for your help 🙂
I was looking to find a quick way of setting the working pivot to a selected vertex or knot.
I know how to do this but I was wondering if I could cut out checking for all the different cases by extracting the X,Y & Z values in the coordinate display box.

If I find a way of doing this, I`ll post it up.
