      I get a: "Cannot convert argument to Geom::Vector3d" error and I can't see what I'm doing wrong here:
      Code snippet:

      
      sel.each{|e|
      		tr = e.transformation
      		ip = tr.origin
      
      		xa = tr.xaxis
            ya = tr.yaxis
      
            a_vector = Geom;;Vector3d.new(a_center.x-ip.x, a_center.y-ip.y, 1)
      
            if(@@axis == "X")
      			obj_axis = xa # I've tried with this...
      			obj_axis = Geom;;Vector3d.new(xa) # ...this...
               obj_axis = Geom;;Vector3d.new(xa.to_a) # ...and this
      		elsif(@@axis == "Y")
      			#obj_axis = ya
      			obj_axis = Geom;;Vector3d.new(ya.to_a)
      		end#if		
      		
      		angle = a_vector.angle_between obj_axis ### ArgumentError; Cannot convert argument to Geom;;Vector3d
                      # do more stuff here...
      }

        Before the line starting angle...
        Add in these to see what the arguments you pass are

        out the possible obj_axis permutations and retest...

        ` p e
        p tr

        p a_vector
        p obj_axis

        p a_vector.to_a
        p obj_axis.to_a`

        If one or both of them are NOT vectors, then we've got somewhere...
