My guess is that this function is using the selectedobject as argument, so probably if you script first "select graphic number X" it would work. I don't have RunRev installed in this machine to test now. >P.S. I don't suppose anyone has a routine to >invert matrices? Actually, I do. If you can wait until tomorrow, I can clean it a bit and upload to some place. Using matrices for scaling, rotating and skewing polygonal graphics is extraordinarly exact. You can transform the graphics as many times as you wish and always can retrace your steps to get the original graphic. The key for the exactitude of all these operations is to hold the exact values returned by these operations in a custom property of the graphic. I've called this property the "exactPoints" and is get BEFORE every operation and set AFTER the operations are done. Of course, if the exactPoints of a graphics is empty then is necesary to use the points, but only one time, because all operations create and set this custom property in the graphic. Serious graphic users will love to use matrices for rotating, skewing and scaling polygon graphics.
