Setting size of box in pixels

[sisom]

Hi, I'm trying to produce some boxes for a website I'm creating, and I need to make a box that is exactly 1,002 pixels wide, is there a way to specify the size of a box when you're creating it, or by editing it?

I've had to use 'edit path' and manually change the size of the boxes, but this is very hit and miss, and I'm sure there must be a better way to do it in PI.

Some of the boxes have round corners, and these deform if I use the resize option, so I was hoping to find something that worked in the same way as 'edit path' does (which doesn't deform round corners) but lets me specify the exact size.

I'm using PIX3, but I also have PI12 if that helps.

Also, when using 'edit path', is there a key you can hold down to constrain movement to just horizontal or vertical? If I use Shift it makes the corners go all over the place and deforms them!

Have you tried using the transform tool? You can enter the dimensions in the attribute toolbar for the transform tool.
