I have a script that prints a simple line of text with the XY dims of a mouse click. It works great on my drawing layer. I'm wondering if it's possible to have this same functionality inside a viewport under edit annotations. Changing the origin using the set origin tool doesn't work because it seems to use the sheet layer scale instead of the scale from the layer that the viewport is referencing. Thanks. For reference my script is below. PROCEDURE XYloc; VAR X, Y : REAL; X1, Y1 : REAL; BEGIN GetPt(X,Y); REPEAT UNTIL MouseDown(X1,Y1); TextOrigin(X1, Y1); BeginText; Concat('X:',Num2StrF(X),' Y:',Num2StrF(Y)) EndText; END; RUN(XYloc);

Right clicking it works. Now I'm not sure if the productivity I'll gain by not having to manually organize will outweigh the extra steps involved in not dragging and dropping. Oh well. I'll play with it. Thanks to you both.

I reset the dialogues and I'm selecting "preserve folder hierachy" but it still just dumps the symbol into the top level of my drawing file...

Ooops...I hid that dialogue box a while back and I can't find the setting anywhere else.

I have several libraries organized with folders and I would like to organize my drawing files using the same folders. Is there a way that VW can create the correct folder in my drawing file when I import a symbol from my library? For example, in my furniture library is a folder called tables. If I import a table into my drawing I would like VW to create a folder in the drawing file called furniture and a sub folder called tables with that table symbol in it.
