Creating new document, rows & columns

[scottr12917177]

Here is a function from a script that creates a new document... simple right?

I was expecting the function to generate a new document with 50 artboards with 10 columns? Instead, the number of columns is getting set to whatever value is currently saved in the new document "Columns" property?

Curious if anyone is able to run this code, and set the number of columns by changing the "artboardRowsOrCols" value?

Thanks!

Hi @scottRaysNI,

one possible way

test();
function test() {
    var newDocPresets = new DocumentPreset;
    newDocPresets.title = "test";
    newDocPresets.colorMode = DocumentColorSpace.RGB;
    newDocPresets.units = RulerUnits.Pixels;      
    newDocPresets.width = 40;
    newDocPresets.height = 40;
    newDocPresets.numArtboards = 50;
    //newDocPresets.artboardLayout = DocumentArtboardLayout.GridByRow;
    //newDocPresets.artboardRowsOrCols = 10;       // this value is not getting set
    //newDocPresets.artboardSpacing = 30;
    var newDoc = app.documents.addDocument( "Basic RGB", newDocPresets );
    newDoc.rearrangeArtboards(DocumentArtboardLayout.GridByRow , 10 , 30 , true);
}

Have fun

This morning I remembered the "Rearrange" UI command, and was unsure if that was accessible through script. I guess it is!

This worked, thanks!
