POSITION/a Gets the coordinates.

ROTATION/a Gets the rotation.

ABOUT/a Gets the rotation point.

CONSTRAIN/s Gets the proportional scale flag state.

PRINT/s Gets the print flag state.

DOCUMENT/s The document name. Default=current.

WINDOW/s The window name. Default=current.

OBJECTID/i The object number. Default=current.

Results:

The object ID is returned to RESULT.

POSITION stem

left/d The left coordinate.
