I find positioning objects by script inside a location locked groups to
be very non-intuitive as well.
I wish there was a mode by which all object in a group - in the special
mode - could be set and referenced by coordinates relative to the group.
Something like
set the relative loc of btn X in group Y to 120,120 -- places the center
of the button 120px right and down from the left, top of the group
(where ever that is)

Hi all,
I am sure there is a technical reason for this! 8-)
I have a group set to 600*600 pixel and loclocked.
Inside of the group there are two invisible objects,
a button and a graphic.
Now if I:
...
create btn "b1" in grp "THE group"
## and
set the loc of btn "b1" of grp "THE group" to whateverX,wahteverY
...
where whateverX and Y are definitively inside of that group!
Then the button stays however in the topleft corner of the group.
Even moving the button some pixels to right or down does not work.
Why, oh, why? :-)
Thanks for any insight!
Best
Klaus
