Default Getting endpoint of conveyor

Hi all.

I am working on a model with a rather abundant number of conveyors.

To make this easier, I am working on getting them to automatically reposition themselves to match the positions and angles their respective inobjects. I have tried looking for the endpoint coordinates and angle in the tree of the conveyor, but so far unsuccessfully.

Are there any flexscript functions that deal with this, or do I have to write the code from scratch?

Best regards
Christian

By the way - When I get the section location data from the path, >variables/sections/sectionX/startx and
>variables/sections/sectionX/starty
the resulting coordinates seem to be a little bit off.

If you hold the X key and click a Conveyor, it will align the next conveyor through its first output port to the end of it.
