Continous Monitoring of origin coordinates

Hi all, I'm new to fusion 360 using and scripting and I have a question.

 

Is it possible monitoring the coordinates of the origin of a component (or occurrence) while I move the component ?

 

I imagine something like a dialog in which the coordinates of the origin of a component evolves while I move the component from a place to another.

It is what the Inspect-Measure do, but I noticed that the dialog disappears when I move the component   

 

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks

Dino

It is possible to query an occurrence and find out its position.  However, to do what you want you'll also need an event that Fusion would fire whenever something has changed so that you can get the new position with each change.  That event is not currently supported.

I thank you very much for your answer and for your time.

 

I will try to resolve in a simpler way: every time I move an occurrence I will activate a script. 

 

Thanks
