Script to add 3mm to an object

Hi there,

Am hoping this is a very simple script someone wouldn't mind showing me.

I deal with 3mm bleed a lot so would love a script that adds 3mm height to the top of an object (described in screenshot below).

I want it to be instant so dialogue boxes aren't necessary. Once I get a working script i can duplicate and adjust to do separate scripts for the left, right and bottom.

Thanks so much!

Hi,

Try following after selecting the object

app.selection[0].geometricBounds = new Array(app.selection[0].geometricBounds[0] - 3, app.selection[0].geometricBounds[1], app.selection[0].geometricBounds[2], app.selection[0].geometricBounds[3])

NOTE : Not yet tested in all cases.

Hi Daniel,

also look into the FillBleedBeta script by Marc Autret:
