Hi
Like this

t2.Transform = Application.ActiveStation.Mechanisms(1).ActiveToolFrame.Tran sform

Where 1 is the index of the mechanism in the station, can exist more than one depending how your station looks like.
ActiveToolFrame is the one you choosen in the elements toolbar.
You could also use ToolFrames(x) if you want to control which toolframe to use if you have several.

hei Per thanks alot it works in rs3.2 with this code

Dim t1 As Target
Dim trans As New Transform

't1 = trans     '

Set t1 = Application.ActiveStation.Targets.Add
trans.Position = Application.ActiveStation.Mechanisms(2).ActiveToolFrame.Tran sform.Position
trans.Orientation = Application.ActiveStation.Mechanisms(2).ActiveToolFrame.Tran sform.Orientation
'Application.ActiveStation.Mechanisms(0).ActiveToolFrame.Tra nsform
t1.Transform = trans

If i use the same code in vsta a get errors on these names that is underlined.

Dim t1 As target
Dim trans As New Transform
t1 = Application.ActiveStation.Targets.Add
Logger.AddMessage(New LogMessage("Macro_Sample1 output window message."))
i have improted these references.

Hi Klaus
The object model in RS5 is totally different from the one in RS4.
Take a look at the vsta example supplied there is a macro for creating targets.

You could also take a look on this topic where I have written some info regarding creating addins for RS5, may give you some hints on the object model (haven't tested them on RS5.08 but I think the object model haven't changed since then)
