Chosing how many times to repeat actions instead of keeping clicking Ctrl+D ?

Hi @hubgobllin,

nice try. I like it.

😉

(Do you know that you can post code snippets directly here in the forum.)

eg

alert("Hello world");

@Modhaffar,

an editable "non-scripting-solution" could be a simple transform effect.

All the more wondrous, hubgoblin.

And welcome to these friendly forums.

hubgoblin,

I always wonder how (one of) yous can always come to the rescue so quickly after (some)one has asked for it.

Modhaffar,

"Can I do that in illustrator?"

You can make the script in a simple text editor, or hope that someone has already made, or will make, such a script and that someone can link to it; and then you can call the script directly with no (other) application.

Any scripting friend?

Have you considered/tried the Effect suggestion?

Modhaffar,

You may use the Transform under Effects, setting the move and number (and you can repeat it in another direction); and then you can Expand Appearance to have all instances instead of just one, or leave it at one if applicable for straightforward editing, or consider a Symbol.

All depending on further use.

You would/ could write a script for that.
