# `GSShape getPositionsFromShape:`

*Instance Method*

Copies corresponding positions and transformation values from another shape.

## Declaration

```swift
func getPositionsFrom(_ otherPath: GSShape)
```

```objc
- (void) getPositionsFromShape:(GSShape *) otherPath;
```

```python
getPositionsFromShape_(otherPath: GSShape)
```

## Parameters

- `otherPath` — The shape providing the geometric values.

## Discussion

Both shapes must have the same concrete type and compatible structure. Other shape content is preserved.
