Hi Current Point,

The trouble here is that {4.25, 5.5} in pasteboard coordinates is going to be a location near the top of the *visible* pasteboard for the first spread of the document. The pasteboard you see around each spread is not the "pasteboard" referred to in "pasteboard coordinates." The "pasteboard coordinates" referred to in this case is the global coordinate system behind all of the spreads in the document.

But the transform method has an added parameter, "considering ruler units", that will do what you want. Something more like this should do the trick:



transform myFrame in pasteboard coordinates from {4.25, 5.5} with matrix myMatrix considering ruler units true



Thanks,

Ole
