Can the compass be moved with a macro?

Hello,


I want to automate the reach function. You click on reach and then move the compass to the target location and then select the manikin segment. Is there a way to either move the compass using a macro or a way to pass in the target location without using the compass?


Thanks,


Tucker
 
Yes, yes it can. Howevermysolution is horriblyclunky.
