Create a rectangle around object?

Hallo martin_Cahill,

My English is not the best, because of that in German.

Grundsätzlich sind sich VBA und Javascript sehr ähnlich. Versuche die folgende Funktion mit den VBA-Äquivalenten zu vergleichen. Learning by doing

function makeRect() {
if (selection.length == 0) {
    alert("Kein Objekt …");
    return;
}else{
    if (selection.length > 1) {
        alert("Zu viele Objekte …");
        return;
    }else{
        var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
        var Sel = myDoc.selection
        var SelVB = Sel[0].visibleBounds;
        var dMarg = 28.3464567;
        var Links = SelVB[0];
        var Oben = SelVB[1];
        var SelBreite = (SelVB[2] - SelVB[0]);
        var SelHoehe = (SelVB[1] - SelVB[3]);
        var newCMYK = new CMYKColor();
        newCMYK.cyan = 100;
        newCMYK.magenta = 0;
        newCMYK.yellow = 0;
        newCMYK.black = 0;
        var myGroup =myDoc.groupItems.add();
        Sel[0].move(myGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
        var MargBox = myDoc.pathItems.rectangle(Oben+dMarg, Links-dMarg, SelBreite+2*dMarg, SelHoehe+2*dMarg);
        MargBox.stroked = true;
        MargBox.strokeWidth = 10;
        //MargBox.filled = false;
        MargBox.fillColor = newCMYK;
        MargBox.move(myGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
        }
    }
}

Hilft dir das weiter?

Viel Spass noch.
