Why did the dimension of the object changes after rotation?

whenever I rotate an object, then click on the transform size properties, it shrinks a bit. and if I change the size it will be smaller than what I set it (ex: before clicking rotated object width: 91.645. after clicking rotated object width: 79.575). Please fix this issue.

      Hi @Exotic Artist,

       

      Thank you for reaching out. The object size has not changed at all. Try rotating it by 90 degrees, and you will see width and height flip, but the values remain correct in the transform panel. New users commonly misunderstand the behavior you have noticed. There is a good explanation of this behavior here - https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/dimensions-change-when-rotating-objects/m-p/13017818#M325713

       

      Hope it helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We would be happy to help.

       

      Thanks,

      Harshika
