Gary, You need to explore the macro "snap" functions. These are listed starting on page 81 of the SmartCAM Customization Guide.
The following example will extract the end X and Y coordinates of the first element in an active group and assign them to variables. #xpos=ENX(GRP(1)) #ypos=ENY(GRP(1)) ================================================== Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.highsteel.com <http://www.highsteel.com/> ================================================== -----Original Message----- From: gary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 7:16 AM To: SmartCAM List Server Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Macro question How can I store the end point of an element in a variable inside a macro.
