Question: Could I get the global coordinate of Gizmo in specific subtool?

ZScripting Help
#1

I’m sorry for the continuance question.
I’m stuck again. It would be great if you could share the infomation.

Could I get the “global coordinate” of Gizmo in specific subtool, and paste to another subtool?

I want to use the specific mesh like as the milestone to another subtool mesh.
So, I would like to make the macro something like above.
However, I have no idea to get the coordinate of Gizmo.

Might I ask what Zscript achive getting the coordinate?

You may be able to use [TransposeGet] and [TransposeSet] to do what you want. They work with the Gizmo as well as the Transpose action line. Take a look at those commands:

Aha! Transpose Line! I searched only the word “Gizmo” in documents and web searches.
I’m sorry for my stupid, however you answered kindly. My hope. If your answer is not here, I stuck forever.
Thank you for answering!

I would like to make small macro of “Gizmo copy and paste to other subtool”. If this is “reinventing the wheel”, I’m really sorry to disturb. (and I realize transpose line has global position between subtools. But, I want to achive this macro!)

I don’t know why this “almost copy and paste” macro return the wrong turned over gizmo to other subtools. I will really appreciate please give me a hint to this.

(sorry for wierd “qwfoo” “qwbar” variables.)
