Search TipsGetPos
Get a position from the user. The return type is dependent on the choice of method. GetPos returns whether a position has been snapped. GetPosEx will return the command argument (i.e. Snap, KeyBack, KeyEnter, End).
Both methods allow the use of Snapcodes
for positional input.
Snapped selectable items are stored in the Named List “*snapped”.
GetPos and GetPosEx will store either Cartesian or Spherical Coordinates depending on the map window
