hello,

is there a way to query the positin/rotation of an object at a given frame
without refreshing the viewports? the object i want to query is cached so I can't
query it's keys. I have a script which plays through the timeline and collects
some data (ie the position change between frames) but it takes forever. Especially when i
forget to turn off the image planes. I've tried to use "currentTime -update 0" but it
doesn't seem evaluate any nodes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanx,
tomViolet

You can use the getAttr command. It has the ability to get attribute values at a specified time.

getAttr -time 314 object.attribute;

float $whatever = `getAttr -time 314 object.attribute`;

Hope this helps,
Trevor
