Width/Height not changing after object rotation
-
In the Transform Panel, the selected object (say a rectangle) width/height displayed does not change after an object rotation - is there perhaps an option to display the true size rather than the original created size ?

I'm getting some unrepeatable weirdness when flipping vert/horiz and/or rotating - occasionally, the displayed sizes WILL actually show the true dimensions

Even more
OK, rotate by 90 then flip horizontally will do it every time

Press the Reset Button on the Transform Panel
( or use Reset Transform in Transform Panel Menu )
or convert your Shape to curveVS set the Shape Effect Transform if you change size
or rotate. I think @VectorStyler could better explain
how this works, then i.

@Igull If I understand correctly, you need to enable the 'Transform Frame' option in the Transform panel's menu:

thanks, did not know that too

Great, thanks for that, Transformed Frame does the job - surprised that's not switched on by default ?

@Igull When rotating an object, the width / height will be the object size before rotation. As mentioned, Reset Transform will restart the transformation values from default.
"Transformed Frame" is off by default because the width / height is intended to be the original size (for example images).
Convert to Curves will also reset all transformations and editable shape effects and bake it into curves.

OK, I can understand where you're coming from (just
), but in that case, the dimension should always remain constant and not flip-flop when mirrored and rotated ?
Thanks

OK, understood - I'm just happy that I can set it to my liking
