I've created a square as a shape / shape layer. I want to know the size of it. I see the info panel has x & y info - but not width / height. Where do i find the width & height of a shape I've drawn? Many thanks - btw cs 5.5

Hi there, i think you don't need answer anymore but i leave my research here for another who get a same idiot problem like us. 

 

When you create a shape from Shape tool or Pen tool, the size property will not exist. 

But if you double click a Shape tool, it make a full size compose shape and the size property will exist in pathgroup.

 

Event you use a shape tool, AE make 2 different closed path with name: Path and Shape Path -..-'.

Hello Tamh,

So funny i was wondering tonight the same question regarding dimensions of a shape and I found your answer from yesterday. You're fully right, depending if you created your shape by double clicking or not we can see the size property appaeared. I didn' t know this subtility but it's good to know. Thank you ;)!

Hi Hunter, 

 

I have found a reason of this issue. While choosing pathtooth, uncheck bezier path and all of the shape properties will exist when you create a shape.

 

Regard,

Why is no one mentioning that when you have (Bezier Path) checked in the op tool bar then your rectangle will not show size properties?

 

And Adobe wtf lol, why, just why!
