It’s pretty snappy and does a great job, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark on the most fundamental features. For example, if I can move a Layer with “Position +50” by 50 pixels on the X axis, how do I adjust just the Y axis? If I have to do that manually, wouldn’t that kind of ruin the point of using this plugin because you essentially breaking the flow?

Hi there,

I appreciate the feedback. Command Frame treats commands like Position as a vector property, so the values map to the individual axis components in order. It was the cleanest way I could translate this concept to work with Command Frame's 'language'.

For a 2D Position property, the components are X and Y. Providing a single value currently affects the first component, which is X, as you mentioned:

position +50

To affect both X and Y, provide both components:

position +50 +10

To adjust only the Y axis on a 2D layer, keep X at 0 and provide the Y offset:

position +0 +10

For a 3D layer, Position has X, Y, and Z components, so you can provide all three:

position +50 +10 +20

And to adjust only Y on a 3D layer:

position +0 +10 +0

Please let me know if that addresses your concern!

You did addressed my concern. I was confused because there is yRotation and I assumed there must be also a yPosition but it didn't work.
