Thank you for your suggestion; do you know if there is a method to extract coordinate data from this abstraction? If not, it seems like I may need to delve into the python layer code a little bit. Thank you again for your help.<br>

If you need a local copy of the object, see how servermanager.Fetch<br>
does it in the python layer.<br>
