Hye,

float $pjt[] = `xform -q -a -ws -t $parentJoint`;

THis expression does not retrun me the absolute translation of a parented objet (I thought absolute returns the worl absolute location of a transform node :( ) Help me ! :blush:

Yeah, when you freeze translation on an object, this no longer works. You should query the rotatePivot position instead, which is always a worldspace value:

xform -q -ws -rp objectName;
