Can I record an Action or set a shortcut to view a file at 3.13%?

[CherylGraham]

I want a quick way to view a file at the smallest magnification, 3.13% I know I can click the pop-up menu on the lower left, but I'd prefer to use a shortcut or to record an Action and assign it a hotkey. Custom Views follow the document, so that won't work on every file I open. I think I used to have something like this, but I don't remember how it's done.

I found an old scale script. This is the modified version. You can record it in an action an give the action a shortcut.

//  Zoom to 3,13% Based on script by Jongware: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/832333 
if ( app.documents.length > 0 )  
{   
  app.documents[0].views[0].zoom = 0.0313;  
}  
//

But as with so many old posts, the original is gone.

Ah, good!

Thanks again guys, but how do I run this in Illustrator?

[CherylGraham]

Ah, that's great, thanks. I don't know how to script, so how do I get that to run in Illustrator? That is, how to I make it into a .jsx file that I can put in my Scripts folder?

Just copy the content, create a new text only file, paste it and save with the .js or jsx extension.

Awesome, thanks.
