Question is in the subj. I have an abject that has a path object and flows along that path object (curve). If i create Fetch i can view the fetched transforms of my object (that flows along my curve). But how could i get this transforms (via expression or some other approach)

Take a look at the Object CHOP. You can also easily get at transform data using HOM.

Thank you, graham. Could you get a hint about HOM ? In the help i've read about obj.worldTransform() and obj.preTransform(), but what about fetched transform ?

Object CHOP is what i've needed

Could you do something like:
print hou.node(“/obj/fetch1”).worldTransform()

And if you wanted only the tx you could do:
print hou.node(“/obj/fetch1”).worldTransform().extractTranslates()
