Robert-- Yes, that's the way it works--so you can either unrotate the item and get its bounds (and then undo the rotate), or you can calculate the bounds using trigonometric techniques. Or, if you want the location of a specific point on the path, you can get the anchor of a path point. Note that this relates to a change in selection behavior between InDesign 1.5 and 2.0--in 1.5, the Transform palette showed the width/height/location of the bounding box. Non-rectangular objects, of course, continue to have a rectangular bounding box. Thanks, Ole
