Transformation matrix – AnchorPoint doesn’t work with horizontal/verticalTranslation

dear forum,

 

when try use anchorpoint with horizontal/verticaltranslation property, it’s ignored. seems anchorpoint.top_left_anchor used whenever use different option: e.g. anchorpoint.bottom_right_anchor.

 

in example below tried use available anchor points, tried play other coordinate spaces, result same: if in ui set x 50pt top-left anchor selected.

main();  function main() {     var doc = app.activedocument;     var obj = doc.rectangles[0];          var transmatrix = app.transformationmatrices.add({horizontaltranslation: 50});     obj.transform(coordinatespaces.pasteboard_coordinates, anchorpoint.top_left_anchor, transmatrix);         } 

 

however, other properties:

clockwiseshearangle

counterclockwiserotationangle

horizontalscalefactor

verticalscalefactor

it works expected

 

am doing wrong? missing something? or, bug?

 

regards,
kasyan

 

p.s. forgot mention: on indesign cc 2014 (2nd release) windows.

hi kasyan,

 

i don't know expect horizontal translation.
the whole object moved 50 pt in x-direction. expected.

regardless of anchor point choosing.
