Shape Position with respect to other shape

[Asif]

Hi all,

I need to know the position of shape with respect to other shape in
terms of location (Left, Top, Right, and Bottom)

Is there any way to find the position of one shape (Left, Top, Right,
and Bottom) with relation to other shape?

Thanks

Asif

Compare the PosX and PosY values.

There is the shapesheet function RectSect

I have not played with it, so I can not give you a more concrete example
than the one in the documentation.

Within code, there is spatialnieghbors spatialrelations properties that lets
you know who is around, but nothing that gives a sector like the shapeshet
function RectSect.
