Hi Martin,

you can't modify the place position of a snippet! In a snippet all coordinates are page related.

The place() method for a snippet does return nothing because there is no snippet object in indesign. So your variable mySnippet is alway null.
When a snippet is placed, the snippet contents (pageitems) are being placed...

So you can't do anything to position your snippet!

A possible workaround would be to group all items before exporting the snippet and assign a script label to that group. After importing the snippet locate the group and move it... ;-)
