can you align anchor points

Not sure why Adobe had to make a completely separate website with completely different logins just for feedback on their apps? They used to have feedback right on their own website.

From my past experience, they don't even really listen to their user base when adding features that we need. Or it takes years for them to do it (I'm looking at you Illustrator Artboards!).

I still don't understand why we can't copy paths from Photoshop into InDesign. We can copy them from Illustrator. I remember when they first came out the the Creative Suite in the early 2000's. They said all our apps will have a common interface and work seamlessly together. Well, I'm still waiting for that 20 years later.

Uwe,

Here, just a simplistic matter of maths!  😉

You simply need to first define the right "point zero"!

[original frame, in "red"; the same frame after running the script, in "green"!]

/*
    _FRIdNGE-0618_PointsAlignment.jsx
    Script written by FRIdNGE, Michel Allio [24/06/2020]
*/

app.doScript("main()", ScriptLanguage.javascript, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Points Alignment! …");  

function main()      
    {
        
        var myPath = app.selection[0].paths[0],
        myPathPoints = myPath.pathPoints,
        P = myPathPoints.length,  p,
        myPathPointsToBeAligned = [];
        for ( p = 0; p < P; p++ ) if ( myPathPoints[p].anchor [0] > 0 ) myPathPointsToBeAligned.push(myPathPoints[p]);
        var P = myPathPointsToBeAligned.length,  p,
        myMinMax0 = [],  myMinMax1 = [];
        for ( p = 0; p < P; p++ ) {
            myMinMax0.push(myPathPointsToBeAligned[p].anchor [0]);
            myMinMax1.push(myPathPointsToBeAligned[p].anchor [1]);
        }
        myMinMax0.sort(function(a, b) { return a - b; });
        myMinMax1.sort(function(a, b) { return a - b; });
        //-------------------------------------------------------------
        ///*HV1: */  for ( p = P-1; p >= 0; p-- ) myPathPointsToBeAligned[p].anchor  = [ myMinMax0[0] + (myMinMax0[P-1] - myMinMax0[0])/2, myMinMax1[0] + ((myMinMax1[P-1] - myMinMax1[0])/(P-1))*(P-1-p) ];
        /*HV2: */  for ( p = P-1; p >= 0; p-- ) myPathPointsToBeAligned[p].anchor  = [ myMinMax0[0] + ((myMinMax0[P-1] - myMinMax0[0])/(P-1))*(P-1-p), myMinMax1[0] + ((myMinMax1[P-1] - myMinMax1[0])/(P-1))*(P-1-p) ];
        //-------------------------------------------------------------
        
    }

Great idea, Sandee, thanks!

They're not as good as using the Align panel, but Smart Guides can help in InDesign.
