Flowcode example file
Download 
SIMAPI_Panel_Position_MoveTo and open it in Flowcode v6. In this example, there are three cubiods that represent Axis X,Y,Z. Note they are coloured exactly as the panel axis indicator which represents your viewing position. There is a sphere also on the panel.
The MoveTo(h,x,y,z) function moves the object specified to a new set of coordinates. In the example file, the program moves the sphere from it's original location of x10,y10,z0 to x100,y75,z0, waits a second and then moves the sphere back to it's original coordinates.
The screenshots below show the effect and also highlight the code used by the example.
