walt.farrell Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 I don't think this has been reported, but I'm seeing this in Publisher 2.2.1. Scenario: Facing Pages document. Using an expression in the Transform panel (as described in the Help for Transform Panel Variables in Expressions), the variable spreadwidth (sprw) has some odd handling. On the right-hand first page, with Letter size pages, I can see that sprw is 8.5" and I can move a rectangle from X=0 to X=8.5 by using sprw or x+sprw in the Transform panel. (This is expected.) However, if I then move down to the next spread (2,3), sprw doesn't work at all (shown here only for x+sprw).

Staff NathanC Posted October 24, 2023 Staff Posted October 24, 2023 Hi @walt.farrell, I've now replicated this and logged it with the developers, many thanks! This appears to affect facing and non facing page documents, any page >1 does not recognise the expression. walt.farrell 1 Quote

And variables are ignored in AD (also 1.10.6) as soon as one uses Artboards. PS: This is on MacOS 13.6.1 Ventura, btw. Quote

If any of the spread's pages have an offset, the spread dimension variable won't take the gap into account. e.g., If you have an A4 spread with an x=50 mm offset for the second page, setting an object's width to sprw will make it 420 mm instead of 470 mm. I'll mention this in the beta forum since this is an issue with the new feature of the beta.
