This is probably really simple, but I cant get it to work. I have drawn a rectangle which is x wide. I want to be able to write some script which will allow me to change just the width of the box to whatever I enter in an input box.

I have tried GetObjectDimensions() and SetObjectDimensions() but they only seem to allow you to copy all the dimensions of an existing object to another object.

Any ideas anyone. I use Opus Pro XE 5.5

Thanks

for an object name box_marker, first get its current dimension data to an object toLocateTo
toLocateTo = box_marker.GetObjectDimensions()

change the item you want to change i.e. width

toLocateTo.width = set_to_width

Apply the new dimenstions to the object box_marker

box_marker.SetObjectDimensions(toLocateTo)
