    1. Open the info palette (Window menu>info)

    2. Left click and drag an outline around the block to track the coordinates

    3. Read the w&h of the block. Note: the scale (e.g. inches, centimeters, points, etc.)  can be set by clicking on the + sign.

    In the lower left of the info palette, there is a plus . Click on this to assign the scale.

    Wish there was a way to edit my post! (ruler)

    anyway i might have tweaked some so that is why i need to know their current size.

    thanks all
