instance models question

[BenBarker]

I don't know if there is a built in way. This is a perfect application for scripting though. Here is a jscript of how I would do this. Select the instances and run this (in Jscript mode):

var oColl = Selection;
var aTransforms = new Array(oColl.count)

//Record Transforms

for(i=0; i<aTransforms.length ; i++)
{
aTransforms[i] = oColl(i).kinematics.global.transform;
}

//Get the master of the first instance
var oMaster = Application.GetMaster(oColl(0));

//Duplicate it
var nameString = "B:" + oMaster.fullname;
var oDupeColl = Duplicate(nameString, aTransforms.length);

//Apply transforms
for (i=0 ; i < oDupeColl.count ; i++){
oDupeColl(i).kinematics.global.transform = aTransforms[i];
}

This has no error checking or anything.
