yea so i was on another forum asking how to get a hud display reading of x,y,z for selected vertices, polygons, and objects.  so some guy gave me a code for python…

import maya.cmds as mc

sel = mc.ls(sl = True)

for node in sel:
vertPos = mc.xform(node, ws=True, q=True, t=True)
print vertPos

this code moves all the vertices when i try to move the selected vertice, so i just need to know how to reverse this.

also my original question would be nice to know as well (the hud display reading...etc..)

thank you :)

edit: this is on maya 2009

The example you posted does not move anything; it just prints the xyz position of the whatever is selected.
