Cool post. I use this script for cycling the coordinate centers, plus the companion script "Cycle Coord System" script from Jim Jagger's site. Very handy. macroScript UseCenterCyclecategory:"Tools"Buttontext:"UseCenterCycle"tooltip:"Cycle the Coordinate Center"( global centerstate = 1 on execute do ( case of ( (centerstate…
