Is it still not possible to make one object the same size as another..?

Hi,

Without having to painstakingly type in the dimensions in the transform panel for each object?

What if I wanted to have alphabetical letters, say B-Z, be the same size as "A"?  Just an exaggeration, but not by much!

I am using Place to line up rope letters (that I bought) one after another. They came in .png format.

You can copy and paste dimensions in the Transform panel, so it’s not quite as tedious as typing them, but there’s no ‘Same Size’ command.

Thank you Alfred. Both width and height, right?  If so, I might as well type them in.

Seeing as they are PNGs I would use Publisher and its Picture Frames to automatically size the placed PNGs in 26 same sized Picture Frames.

Thank you Bruce.  Good suggestion as I want to use Publisher any way.  Didn't think of using a Picture Frame instead of Place.

How would I insert content into the picture page?  Can I duplicate that picture frame then? 

How do I make sure that they all are the same size?

Thanks!

You can place the images in the Picture Frames as usual, e.g. via the Place Image Tool.

Yes, duplicate them – best before filling them.

Create 1 Picture Frame –> set its property "Scale to Max Fit" –> cmd|ctrl J to duplicate

You can scale them all together as long they are on 1 page/spread. For full page images use a Master Page for the Picture Frame, then scroll through the document while placing the images (or zoom out to see more pages).

If you have APhoto you can use File > New Batch Job to batch process all the png files to new png files specifying the width and height, once, for all of them

Thank you.  Works great.

How about that!  I do have Affinity Photo.
