script to align selected objects to artboard

Bump!

Hi volocitygraphics,

I think there isn't a simple solution for all possibilities.

But you can select one item and run this (selected item will be centered):

// AlignSelectedItem2Artboard.jsx
// ab CS5
// http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1336506?tstart=0
// (title: script to align selected objects to artboard)
// one selected item will be centered
// regards pixxxelschubser
var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
app.coordinateSystem = CoordinateSystem.ARTBOARDCOORDINATESYSTEM;
var abIdx = aDoc.artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex();
var actAbBds = aDoc.artboards[abIdx].artboardRect;
var obj2move = aDoc.selection[0];
obj2move.position = new Array ((actAbBds[2]-actAbBds[0])/2 - obj2move.width/2, (actAbBds[3]-actAbBds[1])/2  + obj2move.height/2);

This is a variant. Another way is e.g. to align the artboard rectangle to your item.

Have fun
