How to access shape layer info via expressions
Just trying to position my anchor point within the bounding box of my shape path. I tried using the layer.width and layer.height properties but it’s just using the values of the actual ‘shape layer’ and not the path within the layer.
Any ideas?

It’s the same issue that you have with text layers. Search this forum for sampleImage and you’ll find some threads about how to find the edges of text layers. There’s a much cleaner way to do it with scripting, but it’s not suitable for all applications.

I offer a script solution; it seems you are trying to do what my Separate_Masks_In_Layers script does. It can re-anchor each new layer according to its mask’s ‘bounding box’. (But it does, perhaps unfairly, require there be two or more masks on a layer).
