Dave--

Why is your frame scaled nonproportionally in the first place? This could be bad if the frame has a stroke--the horizontal stroke weight will be different from the vertical stroke weight. I try to avoid scaling frames, period--I want to the stroke weight to be exactly what I specified, not some scaled version.

Instead, why not (quickly) redraw the frame in place and undo the scaling? What I do is usually create a second frame, copy all of the path point locations from the first frame, and then delete the first frame. I have "preflight" scripts that walk through a document to do just this.

Thanks,

Ole
