Is it possible to toggle Trim View on/off with a script?

Question

Hello, community.

I was wondering if it's possible to create a script that would handle toggling Trim View on and off when run. I've run across the frequent need to turn Trim View on and off to preview my artboards in a more isolated environment, and I'd like to turn such a script into a button via my Scripts Manager to speed up my workflow.

I'd appreciate any guidance on this! Thanks!

Hello @Eduard Buta,

Thanks for reaching out. As suggested by JDuncan, TrimView is not available as an option using API as of now. You may, however, create a UserVoice for this request here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com. This way, you will be notified of future updates to this feature request.

Thanks,

Anubhav

I've done a lot of digging recently for menu commands accessible to the API (lots of discussion here) and I have never seen "Trim View" listed as being available. Normally, I would tell you to create an Action that enables trim view using the"Insert Menu Item" action step, but oddly enough, it doesn't seem "Trim View" is accessible there either. Sorry!
