Hi Micahel

>This might fit in better in the object properties panel in the upper-right area of the window, in the same area where an object's bounding size is currently displayed.<

That would work. That then leaves the coordinates at the bottom free to display the cursor position plus allow input.>My question is - what do you gain by setting the exact numeric position of such an arbitrary point?<

Probably I'm used to working in a polygon program like C4D and modo where objects or whatever is selected has a position. This isn't a major one and if no one else has asked for it then it's probably not an issue.

Re instances. While this would be handy in MoI for visualizing things I wouldn't get carried away about trying to export instances. Perhaps what could be exported is a point map if that's possible. Then in the 3D app like C4D or modo the one exported reference object could be instanced on to the point map.
