We have a custom script that places a hi-res image from Cumulus (5.0.10) in Classic into InDesign (2.0.2) in OS 10.3. Some of the folks in the department have put forth some requests. More specifically the ability to retain/inherit the attributes when replacing an image within a frame. Among other things we produce grocery flyers. Scenario- User places an image via the already existing AppleScript. The script fits the image proportionally within the frame that's selected (if no frames are selected the script creates a new frame on the pasteboard and drop the image into it). The user rotates the image, not the frame, and duplicates it. Reason being, the user intends to bring alternate variety of the product i.e. add chocolate to accompany the vanilla. Question: Is there a way to retain/inherit the attributes/properties when selecting that frame and running the script again, so the placed image will be rotated as well?
