sizes of blocks

[anon125]

In PSE 5 i have to have an arrangement of blocks.

made with the select tool set to size.

is there a way i can select the block and see the size? other than dragging it to the ruller?

thanks all

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

Can you post a screenshot of the blocks?

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.

Thanks - I have put the sizes in the blocks so i know what they are supposed to be!

the info numbers - are they in inches?

thanks guys

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

You're welcome.

If your blocks are on separate layers, you can just Ctrl click on the particular layer thumbnail in the layers panel to load a selection of said block and read the size from the Info palette.
