Axis Coordinates from Inspector

Definitely. Sorry for lack of information.

The problem seems to be that when I call insertGroupBelow on a node, that group replaces the node.

So here is what I'm doing:

	sub_instance = p.insertGroupBelow(subnode)
	sub_instance.parentNode = p.instanceName
        ''' this copies defined properties from the parent node to the sub node '''
	CADParser.copyParams(p, sub_instance)
	sub_instance.inCollide = []

The meat of the copyParams code looks like this:

def copyParams(src,dst):
	dst.instanceNumber = src.instanceNumber
	dst.instanceName = src.instanceName
	dst.partNumber = src.partNumber
	dst.anarkParent = src
	src.anarkGroup = True
	dst.anarkGroup = True
	param_list = ["anarkFreeMovement"
				, "anarkTrans"
				, "anarkRotate"
				, "anarkRehomePos"
				, "anarkRehomeOri"
				, "anarkDependency"
				, "anarkColor"
				, "anarkAlpha"
				, "anarkBackface"
				, "anarkShader"
				, "anarkDescription"
				, "anarkImage"
				, "anarkModule"
				, "anarkLocal"
				, "anarkTool"
				, "layerSpacing"
				, "anarkRequires"
				, "anarkModRotate"
				, "anarkRev"
				]

	for param in param_list:
		if hasattr(src, param):
			exec("dst." + param + " = src." + param)
		else:
			try:
				exec("del dst." + param)
			except:
				pass
	
	if hasattr(dst, "anarkColor"):
		src.color(dst.anarkColor)

	if hasattr(dst, "anarkShader"):
		if dst.anarkShader == "smoothmetal":
			reflect = viz.add('image2.jpg')
			dst.texture(reflect,'',1)
			dst.appearance(viz.TEXGEN,'',1)
	
	if hasattr(dst, "anarkRotate"):
		src.rotatingParent = dst

In another module, when I've got the handle on one of these groups created with the insertGroupBelow, I get an exception when trying to access a parameter like:

'''Only executed when this part has been marked as being an inserted group'''
print part.anarkParent

I get an exception saying that the attribute does not exist.
