	spaces[space_cnt].order := Str2Num(GetRField(h, 'Space', 'Matrix Order'));
	spaces[space_cnt].uid   := GetObjectUuid(h);
END;

BEGIN
	polyCnt := polyCnt + 1;
	polys[polyCnt].id := GetObjectUuid(h);
	polys[polyCnt].h := CopyPathPoly(h);
END;

h1 := GetObjectByUuid(space1);
if (h1 = nil) then BEGIN
	space1 := GetRField(objHand, objName, 'Space1');
	h1 := GetObject(space1);
	uuid := GetObjectUuid(h1);
	SetRField(objHand, objName, 'Space1UUID', uuid);
	{ AlrtDialog(CONCAT('Translating old Space Link to current, using uuid ', uuid)); }
END ELSE BEGIN
	{ the object name here may not be meaningful, but this is a best effort at backward compatibility }
