GlueDT92 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have a bunch of rectangles in a document that are all rotated at different angles. I have a worksheet that is databasing all those rectangles and returning their length, width, and area. However, the length and width being returned are not their "true" length & width (ie their dimensions when not rotated at all), but rather what appear to be dimensions giving length and width when rotated (a 7'x15' rectangle is returning as 6'-6 3/16 x 19'-9 11/16"). If I orient my view so what some rectangles are rotated zero degrees those rectangles will return a "true" number. Is there a way to force my worksheet to look at the rectangle in its zero degrees orientation regardless of how my view is currently rotated? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 What version are you using? I think the behavior of height and width rotated rectangles changed in the past couple years. Quote Link to comment
GlueDT92 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 VW2017, latest service pack. That would make sense because I am quite sure that I didn't have this issue before! Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Just tried it in 2017 and got the results you got. It behaves the way you want in 2018. I don't have 2016 on this computer, but I thought that the 2018 behavior was already established in 2015 or 2016. Quote Link to comment
