Hi Shane,

thx for your script-ideas. I thought the same way like you (2nd Version), but it didn't work with a rectangle in another position. Following doesn't function:

set picPath to "Bonbon:Users:arminegginger:Desktop:Bilder_Erwin:Erwin3"

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
	tell document 1
		tell rectangle 1
			get properties
			set {y1, x1, y2, x2} to geometric bounds
			set {y3, x3, y4, x4} to geometric bounds of image 1
			get properties of image 1
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
	tell document 1
		--i have to place the rectangle in another position than the origin rectangle and place the image in the same offset
		set xRectangle to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:{5, 5, 83, 66}}
		set {y1, x1, y2, x2} to geometric bounds of xRectangle
		place picPath on xRectangle
		tell xRectangle
			set {y3, x3, y4, x4} to geometric bounds of image 1
			set geometric bounds of image 1 to {y3 - y1, x3 - x1, y4 - y1, x4 - x1}
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

the other version (move image by...) works

set picPath to "Bonbon:Users:arminegginger:Desktop:Bilder_Erwin:Erwin3"

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
	tell document 1
		tell rectangle 1
			get properties
			set {y1, x1, y2, x2} to geometric bounds
			set {y3, x3, y4, x4} to geometric bounds of image 1
			get properties of image 1
			set theOffset to {x3 - x1, y3 - y1}
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
	tell document 1
		tell page 1
			set xRectangle to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:{5, 5, 83, 66}}
			place picPath on xRectangle
			move image 1 of xRectangle by theOffset
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

Many thanks for this scripts
