Größenangabe von Elementen in InDesign

Hallo, mir ist ein Fehler in InDesign aufgefallen, den ich gerne berichten möchte (Version 19.2)

Wenn ich ein Rechteck mit der Höhe 43 mm habe und es um 10 ° neige wird es laut Anzeige 43,665 mm hoch. Gruppiere ich es mit einem normalen Rechteck mit der Höhe von 43 mm gruppiere, wird es wieder mit 43 mm Höhe angegeben. Optisch ist aber eindeutig, dass sich an der Höhe nichts geändert hat und beide Elemente gleich hoch sind.

It isn't a bug, it's a behaviour. May I recommend Marc Autret's explanation over on his Indiscripts website? He goes into great depth and explanation about how this works: https://indiscripts.com/post/2018/06/coordinate-spaces-and-transformations-5

If the answer wasn't in my post, perhaps it might be on my blog at colecandoo!

This behaviour or bug (however we call it) doesn't occure in past versions of InDesign. I hope, they fix it in time. It makes the workaround much more complex.

I’m working in CC2021 and see the same in CS6:

Hi @Stephanie27059601f7zd , Could you clarify how you are getting the rectangle’s  height? The Transform and Info panels are returning the correct Height for me—the Height is always 43mm with any rotation applied:

Hello,
yes, I will try to explain.

I created two rectangles (see below 35 x 35 mm),
[cid:0069864a-daa0-4096-bd9f-0478ea746bd1]

then I tended one of it 10°.
It doesn`t changed height, but the info changed.

[cid:23d2e30a-675e-47ef-9a49-39d9e97b4077]

Marking up both forms, it tells me the right height.

My colleague tested it on his windows pc an got the same results.

I think it is happening because on a Shear the Height equals the length of the parallelogram’s side. It‘s easier to see on a more exaggerated Shear:

I've moved your post from Creative Cloud Desktop to the InDesign forum for you. The InDesign engineers do not use the Adobe forums for reporting bugs as most of application developers do. Instead they use a platform called UserVoice.

 

Bugs can be reported here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs
