View geometric information about objects

When you select an object, its geometric information appears in the Transform and Control panels. If you select multiple objects, the information represents all selected objects as a unit.

 Select one or more objects, and display the Transform panel (Window > Object & Layout > Transform).

Position information is relative to the ruler origin and the reference point of the object. Angle information is relative to the pasteboard, where a horizontal line has an angle of 0°.
