Question

Illustrator Action

Hello,

There is an option in illustrator to select the Next object Above/Below in the Select menu.

But I would like to select next object above/below to be added to the current selected object(like Shift+selecting another object with mouse thus selecting 2 objects).

I am trying to record an Action and in the midway I need to select next three objects below my current selected object and group them. Please let me know if this is possible or any other work around is available.

Please show something.

What kind your 'objects' are?

You would have to create a script to do any of that.

Thanks for your comment. Looks like scripting is the only way to go. Any sort of help in scripting to do this operation is welcome.

We have a forum for Illustrator Scripting. I moved this for you.
