[gme-users] Query regarding positional an entity

[Akos Ledeczi]

Deepak,

GME stores the position information in the object's registry. It is 
called nameposition and there is an entry for each aspect. (You can 
right click on an object and select Registry in the context menu to 
check this out.) So, you can simply modify the value from your interpreter.

Even easier is to use the autolayout plugin that should appear on your 
toolbar.

Hth,
Akos
