Copying XYZ - 3DS
Is there any shortcut or script for copying individual x, y, and z co-ordinates on the push of a hotkey?
It's tedious to go to the bottom of the window and copy it manually. A hotkey to copy and paste the locations would be perfect.

I haven't tried it but this script might get the job done pretty well. It gives you a nice little GUI to copy/paste I think you can also hotkey the actions.

Neil Blevins also has some pretty good align and replace object scripts.

use some lineup scripts that align the verts - because most certainly they cant be on the same position each time. In that case look in the edit mesh or edit poly rollouts for the "x" "y" "z" buttons- because they will align the selection components (e.g verts, edges or faces) along that axis.
Or do you perhaps mean transferring selected vert positions from 1 mesh or poly to a different mesh or object? In that case a script could be written that would sort the vertex positions on some mechanic store them in an array - then when going to the other object select the verts it would create another array sort them again and then assign the values from the first array to the now selected verts through the 2nd array.

Very good script.
