Tranfer World Space Coordinates of an object To Other Object with melscript

sukhpreet

string $sel[] = `ls -selection`;
float $m[] = `xform -ws -q -t $sel[1]`;

I have two objects. I want to copy the translation coordinates of one object to other. 
In above mentioned code,
I would store the translation coordinates of second object in $m[].
How can I tranfer it to first object? Basically to $sel[0]. HELP!!!

Do you need to use a mel script for this? Maya makes this fairly easy to do.

Select the item you want to move first, then select the item you want it to move to. Then in the Channel Box, select the translate X value and hit tab 3 times.

In case you want MEL anyway:

{<br>    string $sel[] = `ls -sl`;<br>    int $arrSize = size($sel);<br>    float $value[] = `xform -ws -q -t $sel[$arrSize-1]`;<br>    for($i = 0; $i < $arrSize-1; ++$i)<br>    {<br>        move -ws $value[0] $value[1] $value[2] $sel[$i];<br>    }<br>}

This'll move all selected objects to the last selected object.

Oh hey thanks! I forgot about that new feature.

@sukhpreet I would recommend Oglu's answer over mine. It works on multiple objects in exactly the same way as my script but it's an internal Maya command which means it's probably slightly more performant.

If you need to call this from MEL, it's simply: MatchTranslation;
