Move cursor to x,y in IC5.1.41

bdjones1

Hi,

On a previous project in IC6.1.5, there was a layout bindkey that would prompt for an x,y coordinate and move the cursor to that specific point.  I'm now working on a project in IC5.1.41, and I'd like this functionality but haven't been able to figure it out.  

Any suggestions? 

Thanks!

    Brian,

    Is this what you're after? I wasn't sure if you just want the cursor to move, or to pan to the xy location.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    I already found that code and imported it, and it's nice but not quite what I'm looking for.  I'm looking for a bindkey to ask for an x:y, then move the cursor to that point.  I had a bindkey that would do this before and found it useful, but I don't have access to that anymore.

    Thanks!

    Brian,

    Isn't that what abCursorPoint() does? You could put that on a bindkey...

    Good, point....I'd only looked at abPanPoint().  This does the trick -- thanks!!

    To be fair, I'd forgotten it was in there too, and I wrote it!

    Andrew.
