Hi. I would like to know how to get the size of a rectangle(or any other shape). I would like to click on it and have the width and length appear somewhere or put it in the properties. The x and y values that appear in the status bar don't help because they change when you move the mouse. I thought they would be in the Quick Properties but that just shows me the x and y position. Suggestions anyone?

Actually you can see the width and height of the rectangle in Quick Editor. It's under the Outline tab. Another way is Geometry Editor.

Thanks Roma. I'll give it a try.

I went to your site and I want to know something. How did you make it so it's only the information in the middle that changes when you click on a menu item on the left? I am trying to do something like that.

Hi KP,
On my site I have the menu and the header as included objects, which means that they stay in the same position on every page. Depending on what the purpose is you can also use I-Frame. As an example I have another site here where I use I-Frame. Clicking on any of the 6 options above changes the content of the I-Frame. In this case it's necessary to have the I-Frame scrollbar visible as the content vary. If your content is of the same size you won't need the scrollbars.

Thanks Roma. I'll check the help and tutorials for those two things. I might get back to you with some questions.

Kingsley.
