Yes, the coordinates (in space) should be the same.

If you are going for position, rotation, scale, then this should suffice:

// Just for reference, set wherever you do this
BaseObject* tagObj;
BaseObject* dropObj;

dropObj->SetMg(tagObj->GetMg());

That'll set the dropped object's global matrix to match that of the object with the tag plugin.

If you just want position, then you will need to do a little more work:

SetGlobalPosition(dropObj, tagObj->GetMg().off);

// Set Object's Global Position
//*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*
void SetGlobalPosition(BaseObject* obj, const Vector& pos)
//*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*
{
     Matrix     mg = obj->GetMg();
     mg.off = pos;
     obj->SetMg(mg);
}

Thx for this kuroyume.
But my problem is that i don't know how to access the IN_EXCLUDE field. I need an operation like:
dropObj = (dropped item in IN_EXCLUDE field)
hope somebody knows what i mean ^^

Here a little example of a modified Execute function that prints the name of the objects in the in/exclude list.

  
LONG LookAtCamera::Execute(PluginTag *tag, BaseDocument *doc, BaseObject *op, BaseThread *bt, LONG priority, LONG flags)  
{  
     BaseContainer *data = tag->GetDataInstance();  
  
     InExcludeData *mylist = (InExcludeData* )data->GetCustomDataType(LOOKATCAMERAEXP_LIST,CUSTOMDATATYPE_INEXCLUDE_LIST);   
     if (!mylist ) return LOAD_NOMEM;  
  
     LONG objcnt = mylist->GetObjectCount();  
     LONG i;  
     for(i=0; i<objcnt; i++)  
     {  
          GePrint(mylist->ObjectFromIndex(doc, i)->GetName());  
     }  
  
     return EXECUTION_RESULT_OK;  
}

hope this helps

cheers,
Matthias

OK the thing with the IN_EXCLUDE field works now. But i got a little problem with the following source:
BaseContainer *data = tag->GetDataInstance();
InExcludeData *mylist = (InExcludeData* )data->GetCustomDataType(ID_DROP_YP,CUSTOMDATATYPE_INEXCLUDE_LIST);
if (!mylist ) return LOAD_NOMEM;
LONG objcnt = mylist->GetObjectCount();
for(LONG i=0; i<objcnt; i++)
{
Vector posnew = (100,100,100);
BaseContainer *drpndata = mylist->ObjectFromIndex(doc, i)->GetDataInstance();
drpndata->SetVector(ID_BASEOBJECT_POSITION,newpos);
}
I want to change the position vector of the dropped in data to posnew and i thought this should work, but it doesn't. Any ideas???
Or is there a way to change position like this:
{
Vector posnew = (100,100,100);
BaseObject *drpndata = mylist->ObjectFromIndex(doc, i); ***
drpndata->SetPos(posnew);
}
*** I know this doesn't work, but is there a way to convert the IN_EXCLUDE mylist to a BaseObject to acccess the SetPos function???

You have to cast the result of ObjectFromIndex, for instance like this:

  
BaseObject *drpndata = (BaseObject* )mylist->ObjectFromIndex(doc, i);

Another question, concerning layouting the IN_EXCLUDE field. Is there a way to specify the size of the IN_EXCLUDE field, cause my field is to small to add e.g. an cylinder object so you have to scroll in the field.

You have to set SCALE_V in the descriptio for both the GROUP and the description element, little example:

  
GROUP ID_TAGPROPERTIES  
{  
     SCALE_V;  
            
     IN_EXCLUDE LOOKATCAMERAEXP_LIST { NUM_FLAGS 0; SCALE_V; ACCEPT { Obase; } }  
}

OK thanks for that Matthias. But i got still more questions
Is there a way to limit the number of objects, that can be dropped in the IN_EXCLUDE field?
