Parameters

| xPos | Required | Integer | The x-coordinate at which to place the center of the shape's width or PinX. |
| yPos | Required | Integer | The y-coordinate at which to place the center of the shape's height or PinY. |

Remarks
Using the Drop method is similar to moving a shape with the mouse. The object dropped (ObjectToDrop) can be a master or a shape on the drawing page.
If ObjectToDrop is a Master, the pin of the master is dropped at the specified coordinates. A master's pin is often, but not necessarily, at its center of rotation.
