steve--

Ah, I see. You might try telling your management how much time this would save you...?<g>

If that doesn't work, I think the thing to do is to:

1. Group the items.

2. Get the geometric bounds of the group.

3. Store the geometric bounds as a string in the label of the group.

4. Add the group to a library.

When your script places the library asset into the new document, you can:

1. Retrieve the bounds from the group's label.

2. Set the group's bounds to the stored bounds.

3. Ungroup the objects.

Does that make sense?

Thanks,

Ole
