I’m wondering if there’s a script that will allow me to copy the world location and/or rotation of an object then a secondary script that allows me to paste the data to a different selected object? Thank you.

Hi Andy.Man,

My first impression was, that you like to do something like the Transfer function [See images].

But perhaps it was meant to be a constant connection between the two objects. With would be the Constrain Tag, or a short set up in XPresso.

There are other options, more advanced, such as Create Script, [Manua>Reference>CINEMA 4D>CINEMA 4D Prime>Script Menu>Script Manager]  or Python of course.

All the best
