Rounding stroke thickness to nearest decimal?

I have a project where many objects have been scaled up and down during the creation of the artwork. And I'm left with some lines that are .9581 pts and some that are 1.039 pts.

Just because I'm a neat freak, is there a script that would round the stroke thickness to the nearest .1 decimal? Or whole number? Or user selectable amount of decimals?

Navarro Parker,

loop through your path items of selection. This is simple, if only path items in your selection exists:

// StrokeThicknessRoundingNearestDecimal.jsx


// required: one or more selected stroked pathItem(s)


// Rounding stroke thickness to nearest decimal


// https://forums.adobe.com/message/6764907#6764907


// regards pixxxelschubser


var sel = app.activeDocument.selection;


for (i=0; i < sel.length; i++) {


if (sel.stroked == true) {


    sel.strokeWidth = Math.round(sel.strokeWidth*10)/10;


    }


}

But much more complicated, if there are compound paths or e.g. grouped paths or nested grouped grouped … paths and not possible for strokes which are added in the appearance palette.

Have fun

    Hi Navarro Parker,

    you can try something like this:

    // required: one selected stroked pathItem
    

    // Rounding stroke thickness to nearest decimal
    

    // https://forums.adobe.com/message/6764907#6764907
    

    // regards pixxxelschubser
    

    var sel = app.activeDocument.selection[0];
    

    if (sel.stroked == true) {
    

        sel.strokeWidth = Math.round(sel.strokeWidth*10)/10;
    

        }

    Have fun

      Works like a charm! Thank you!

      Any way to get it to work on multiple selected paths?
