Digital Workshop

I am trying to move a pointer around a picture of a floor plan and position it accoording to a DB of absolute x/y values.

I have created an Access DB which contains the Absolute position of the centre of each room, and then when querying the Db returning the value into a variable. (this works so far as the position variables are also displayed within the publication ok) The next step is to take the x and y position variables and move a frame to it. Any ideas the best way to do this? I am new to this version of Opus so the scripting is new territory to me.

Hi,

Thank you for your enquiry.

You can position an object to specific x and y coordinates using the SetPosition function. Simply apply a Script action after the Database Query action and use the following code:



where Frame is the name of the frame object and x and y are the variables which store the coordinates.

I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further queries.

Kind regards,

Thanks. Its easy when you know how!!
