problem with graphicLine geometric

[eboda_snaf]

hi there,

i'm stuck with this problem.. i've created a line on page using JS.

var myLine;
myLine=app.activeDocument.graphicLines.add();

myLine.geometricBounds = ['200mm', '0mm', '200mm','300mm'];
myLine.strokeWeight ="8pt";

when i select the line on page, it gives X: 0mm, Y:198.589mm,  L:300mm

what i don't understand is why Y is not 200mm? How to make it 200mm.

Thank you.

Can you spot the difference?

Which of the 9 squares is highlighted by you?

[eboda_snaf]

the top one..

anyway to use JS to set the default as bottom?

useful threads to use math round format

Hi tpk1982

Sorry you are way off, this has nothing to do with math rounding.

There's a setting for which reference point of the control bounds are being used.

I'm trying to remember how to refer to it.

Click the right box in and look at the x value.

Thanks Trevor, maybe i oversight the requirement

[Trevor: · Accepted solution]

app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].transformReferencePoint =  LEFT_CENTER_ANCHOR;

HTH

got it.. Thank you Trevor

app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].transformReferencePoint =  AnchorPoint.BOTTOM_LEFT_ANCHOR;

use Math.round
