Setting the position of a db or rod object

gsimard

Hello,

 

I am trying to set manually the position of a rod or db object, without using rodAlign. It is possible to read the position of the objet by retrieving the translation part of the transform like this:

(car (rodGetObj "P1")~>transform)

It's also possible to access this property from the dbId in the same way.

 However, I couldn't manage to write to this place yet, any hint ? The object is already created so the initial control over it's position is not a possibility.

 

Thank you,

Guillaume

    You can set this information using the xy attribute for an instance. If rodObjId is the variable containing your rod object:

    rodObjId~>dbId~>xy = list(0 0)

    This will move the instance to 0:0.
