Document Y axis value for Pen Tool shapes

[3Dshark]

Unless I'm missing a setting somewhere, objects created on a page will have the Y axis in relation to the page you are working on.

The exception is unclosed paths / shapes, including straight lines, created by the Pen Tool which seem to have their Y axis in relation to the origin of the very first page in a document.

This means that on p10 of my document the horizontal lines are showing an Y axis of 3044.8mm instead of 101.8mm!

Oddly if you convert a rectangle to paths and then remove two of the nodes to create a straight line you get the correct positioning.

Update, if there are only two anchor points left in the path from your rectangle then you get the same Y axis issue

Hi @3Dshark,

This issue has been fixed in the 2.1 beta, unclosed curves/line objects should now correctly consider the page's origin when reporting the X/Y value. I've provided a link below which details how to access the beta versions if you want to try this for yourself. 🙂
