Using the Info palette
The Info palette provides information on the area beneath the pointer and on selected 
objects. Depending on the tool you’re using, you can use the Info palette to measure size, 
distance, and angle of rotation. In most cases when a tool is in use, the Info palette displays 
the x and y coordinates of the pointer’s position in the artwork by using the units of 
measurement you specify. The unit of measure is determined by the unit of measure set in 
the Document Setup or Units & Undo Preferences dialog box.
The Info palette also displays color information for the fill and stroke of selected objects, 
and the names of patterns, gradients, or tints applied to the objects.
To display the Info palette:
Choose Window > Info. The Info palette displays the following information, depending on 
the tool or command you select:
When using a selection tool, the x and y coordinates of the pointer are displayed. If an 
object is selected, the width (W), height (H), and x, y coordinates of the object are also 
displayed.
When using a zoom tool, the magnification factor and the x and y coordinates are 
displayed after you release the mouse button.
When using a pen tool or gradient tool, or when you move a selection, the change in 
x (W), the change in y (H), the distance (D), and the angle   as you drag are displayed. 
When using the scale tool, the percentage change in width (W) and height (H) and the 
new width (W) and height (H) are displayed after the scale is finished.
When using the rotate or reflect tools, the coordinates of the object’s center and the 
angle of rotation   or reflection   are displayed.
When using the shear tool, the coordinates of the object’s center, the angle of shear 
axis  , and the amount of shear 
 are displayed.
When using the paintbrush tool, the x and y coordinates and the name of the current 
brush are displayed.
