      Is there any way to build “fit frame to content” into an object style?

      Is in “basic attributes” in the “new object style” the “frame fitting options” actif? If not, click on it and select the preferred fitting option.

      There doesn’t seems to be an option to have an image frame adjust to its content: https://www.evernote.com/l/AA7UB9xwTppC2q-orxR4b_zrPZ7KsTdNpSYB/image.png Wondering if it is buried somewhere else—?

      I’m using CS6 and later versions may not be exactly the same. But in my InDesign, the control panel across the top of the screen has a number of sections, indicated by vertical dividing lines. The tenth from the left, by my count, has five icons across the top (grouped as two and then three) and a single button on the bottom with the label “Auto Fit”. The second button from the right is the one you want. If you hover over it the little pop-up description should read “Fit frame to content”. Click on that and your image frame automatically expands or contracts (or both) to fit the image within it.

      It’s worth exploring the other four buttons as well, even if all you do is read the pop-up descriptions. :-)

      Not sure how you could build that into an object style, but there OUGHT to be a way to do it.

      Tina, this isn’t possible. Objectstyles are working only for frames. Because a picture lives in a container (the frame), there is no way to store or read such values from the content (the image) in an object style.

      I assume, that this is only possible in the UI, because here you have unic values, while you can have different values for multiple images, if you apply the same oStyle to the parent frame.

      And: Sometimes the images are set in Photoshop to 72 ppi. So in most cases your images are probably to big, so “fit content to frame” may the better choice. If you want “fit frame to content” this can only be controlled with the UI or with a script.
