Hello

I am working on a little plugin tag which is supposed to lock selected axis - somewhat like the X,Y,Z lock of the C4D interface.

No problem locking an object to a specified fixed location which the user can enter in the Tag description. But what about simply locking an object at it's current position?

In Execute() I would have to get info about where the object is before moved and where it is going. How can this be done?

Thanks

Peter
