Object Manipulation

[WaterMac]

Is it possible, through script, to move an object (up, down, left, right) on a layout. For example if a text box is located 2" from the top of layout form, I would like to be to move it to 2.25" using a script. Is such a item possible?

No. You cannot move layout objects using scripts. In fact layouts must be designed manually.

It is peculiar FM provides a function to GET the position of a named layout object, but not to SET it.

If you want to dynamically position layout information, you might try using a webviewer and a data URL. This will allow more freedom in positioning the data.
