query world coords
Can anyone help me figure out how to query the world space transform and rotational values of an object? I've looked all through the docs and just can't find it. Pivot points no problem, but I need rotation as well so that doesn't help me.
Thanks a bunch.

you can either store it in a float array or a vector like so..
///////////////////////
vector $translates = `xform -query -worldSpace -t name of object`;
///////////////////////
you can replace the t with an r for rotates.
