How to get SymbolRegistrationPoint position?

[Alexander Ladygin]

Is it possible to get the position data of the point shown in the screenshot?

[CarlosCanto · Accepted solution]

yes, replace your symbol with another one that has center registration point, get center point, replace symbol back with your original symbol.

Thank you very much! Everything is working!

As an example:

var item = selection[0],
    bakupSymbol = item.symbol,
    newSymbol = activeDocument.symbols.add(item, SymbolRegistrationPoint.SYMBOLTOPLEFTPOINT);
// replace symbol
item.symbol = newSymbol;
// set position
var position = [
        item.left,
        item.top
    ];
// restore symbol
item.symbol = bakupSymbol;
newSymbol.remove();
alert(position);
