OVERLAPPING OBJECTS

Question

Hi, team. I'm working with illustrator and I have a scene with many objects placed randomly. Some of these objects are overlapping. Is there a script or feature that can automatically adjust their positions to avoid overlaps and ensure a more even distribution?

Hi @Hanschrs, this discussion inspired me to write a script that might help (but don't worry if it doesn't suit your case—I was happy to write it anyway as I've wanted to do something like this for a long time!)

The script is called "Distribute Items.js" and you can download it from my github repo for general scripts (it's a new repo, I just made today but I will be adding new scripts to it all the time).

If you try it out, try it on not-too-many page items to start with while you are experimenting with the parameters. If you like you can adjust the default parameters by editing the "settings" object in the script (it is near the start).

Let me know if it is useful.
