Hi,

I'd like to output the XY coordinates of a layer and write it into a text file. Is this possible? Thanks.

Take a look at this script. It does several things so you will have to dig through and pull out what you need. In this script there are examples of:
  • -Importing a folder of Illustrator files and putting each logo into a comp

    -Reading After Effects keyframe data and writing position and corner pin keyframes from it.

    -Create folders for ae 6.5

    -File seek function that jumps to specific lines of a text file (thanks to some people on here helping me get that to work)
