Hi,

I have a group called "Preview" and I want to resize it proportionally.

If Width > Heigth then width of group must be set to 350px

If Width < Heigth then height of group must be set to 350px

I am familiar with scripting , but new with Illustrator scripting.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
Robin

Do you have any live strokes that need to be accounted for? If so, we'll need to calculate the width/height differently. But this works with no live strokes.

function resizeGroup(){


    app.preferences.setIntegerPreference("rulerType", 6);


    var docRef = app.activeDocument;


    var preview = docRef.layers[0].groupItems.getByName("Preview");


    var pW = preview.width;


    var pH = preview.height;


    var maxWidth = (350/pW)*100;


    var maxHeight = (350/pH)*100;


    if(pW > pH){


          preview.resize(


              maxWidth,


              maxWidth,


              true,


              true,


              true,


              true,


              00,


        )


    }


    else if(pH > pW){


          preview.resize(


              maxHeight,


              maxHeight,


              true,


              true,


              true,


              true,


              00,


        )






    }


}


resizeGroup();
