Hi Alex, CoordinateSpaces.pasteboardCoordinates is the global measurement system--that is, it extends behind all pages and all spreads, and it is always in points, regardless of your current units of measurement. Is that really what you want? If you're working with objects that have not been transformed (scaled or rotated), then it's usually easier to work with geometricBounds, which returns the bounds of the object in current ruler units, in the form: y1, x1, y2, x2. If you set your ruler origin to page origin, then the values you get back will match those you see in the user interface (in the Control panel and the Transform panel). Is that what you're looking for? Thanks, Ole
