How to Retrieve the value of dX and dY in the current window

ClintMeyer

I would like to create a script that will automatically move whatever I have selected in a layout window by the same amount as the last move.  The last move/copy/stretch relative distance is displayed in the layout window as dX and dY (standing for delta X and delta Y i presume).  Is there a skill function that returns that value?  I looked under the hiGetCurrentWindow() and it was not there.

 Thanks for any help

  • Its the same problem as discussed in the previous replies. Deltax/&y is wrong when the snap cursor is not "Any Angle".

    My code actually get's the object's bounding box changes when performing move or copy. By doing this, you don't care about the snap cursor because your calculating the delta between old position(old bbox) to new position(bbox)

    Though its working, I still preferred to short one. I hope we can get the updates.
