'Transform' dialogue

[WildCottage]

The 'Transform' dialogue shows the position, on a page, of various elements. Standard stuff, no problem - except that the 'Y' dimension, in my multi-page document only gives a 'Y' value based upon the origin of the document, NOT the individual page I'm looking at; I get a huge minus figure! (see screen capture; TransformDialogue)

I can see how this is calculated (number of pages x depth of each proceeding page, + local distance on page), but when trying to place an item on, say, page 7, I'm left with a complex mental arithmatic excercise to place it at a particular spot. I've tried moving the page origin to no avail. (see screen capture; RulersOrigin)

Is there a way to make the 'Transform' dialogue reflect the actual numbers of the particular page I'm working on please?

I never noticed this before, but I can't believe it's intended to work like this!

Hi,

I have the same issue. I had reported it here:

This morning I again tried to figure out a workaround. But the only thing I could find out that this strange behaviour also changes when I switch the document from facing pages to non-facing pages. Sometimes the first page shows the correct X and Y values, sometimes it does not.

Thanks

Reinhard

Hi WildCottage,
Thanks for your report. This is already logged and should be fixed in the next Beta build.

Many thanks MEB, I'd not spotted the previous comments ...
