axlDBAltOrigin query

pcbnagaraj

Hi,

I am trying to find the body centre of the text  using axlDBAltOrigin, with Center and Origin as argument I still get same co-ordinates???

axlSetFindFilter( ?enabled list( "noall" "text")  ?onButtons list( "noall" "text"))

text = car(axlGetSelSet(axlSelect()))

text_xy_origin = axlDBAltOrigin('Origin text)

text_xy_bodycenter = axlDBAltOrigin('Center text)

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Nagaraj.

    Hi Nagaraj,

    Try using this in your code

    println(axlDBAltOrigin('origin text))
    println(axlDBAltOrigin('center text))
