Hi, I'm looking for a method or AS that can help restore a frame or other object to 100% in the transform pallette without affecting size or position. This is to counter all of the crazy methods InDesign has for scaling an object and how it affects other attributes (such as corner radius, stroke width, type size, etc.). Here's the scenerio: Boss likes to scale frames using the percentages input in the transform palette (I prefer cmd dragging with selection tool). They give different results in regards to corner radius (and probably other things). If a frame has been scaled to 150%, then the .125" corner radius will no longer be that (it will be 1.5x bigger). So I need to revert frame to 100% so that a .125" corner radius is actually .125" (imagine wanting that!). These different methods of scaling and how they affect other attributes is driving me CRAZY! I hope they streamline it in a future update.
