Getting Started

1. Download ZIP archive to you computer.
2. Install .jsx files into the Presets folder. How To Guide
3. Restart

Quickly export all artboards to individual files.

Draw "visible" bounds for selected objects. Accurately shows clipped objects, compounds paths, and even compound objects inside of a clipping mask that's inside of other clipping masks.

Select only path points and not path segments for editing.

Match one or more objects to another by position, size, rotation, layer, and or alignment.

My most used script by far!

Script Usage:

1. Select two or more objects that you would like to match to each other.
2. Choose a SOURCE object from your selection that all other TARGET objects in your selection should be matched to.
   • If you are not sure where your preferred SOURCE object is within your selection stack, you can click the "Preview Source Selection checkbox and Illustrator will select only the current SOURCE object.
3. Choose which attributes of the SOURCE object should be matched
   • Position: Match the artboard position of all TARGET objects to the SOURCE object.
   • Size: Match the dimensional size of all TARGET objects to the SOURCE object. Accounts for compound paths and clipping masks.
   • Rotation: Set the rotation of all TARGET objects to that of the SOURCE object.
   • Layer: Insert all TARGET objects into the same layer as the SOURCE object.
   • Alignment: Align your TARGET objects to your SOURCE object (just like Illustrators built-in Align panel).
4. Set the specifics for each attribute you have chosen to match.
   • Position Match: Choose the SOURCE object anchor point that all TARGET objects should be positioned at.
   • Size Match: Choose which dimension all TARGET objects should match of the SOURCE object. When matching "Both", your targets may scale disproportionately.
   • Also Scale: Pick which attributes (if any) of the TARGET objects should also be scaled during the "Size Match".

Offset (stack) selected objects edge-to-edge by their layer palette stacking order. You can offset them either vertically (bottom-edge to top-edge) or horizontally (right-edge to left-edge).

Need some space between objects? Specify a gutter size and all objects will be spaced apart by that amount.

Need to go the opposite direction? Click Reverse Stacking Order and you're set.

This works very similar to the Distribute Spacing function of the Align palette, except that it uses the objects place in the layer palette stack to determine the order in which the object is stacked in relation to the rest.
