[冯25976853bt3d]

i used C# create script tool

double x = 719.222222222219;
double y = -49.370370370369528;
app.ActiveDocument.Selection[0].Position = new object[2] { x, y };

the question reason is 'clipping mask'

[CarlosCanto]

if Selection[0] is a clipped group then you'll have to find the Clipping Path, find its position, get the difference between clipping path position vs clipping group position and adjust accordingly.

how to get X,Y ? pleeeeeeease...  

[CarlosCanto]

var left = selection[0].position[0];

var top = selection[0].position[1];

to get the Center coordinates, add half of the Width and half of the Height

if groupItem Clipped equal true 

get position  contain hidden path;

😞

[CarlosCanto]

if groupItem Clipped equal true

then, you'll have to loop through all pathItems inside the group and check for their "clipping" property. Once you find the pathItem with "clipping = true" then that's the clipping path (invisible path)

let me know if you any issues getting this code done, we'll help you if you get stuck
