group objects on artboard

[abjelly]

When i call the method selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard on an artboard, is there a way to easily group all items in the selection?

Like in the menu found under "right click > group"

Try this:

// GroupFromSel.jsx
// regards pixxxelschubser 
if ( app.documents.length > 0 && app.activeDocument.selection.length > 0) {
    var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var Sel = aDoc.selection;
    var GroupFromSel = aDoc.groupItems.add();
    for ( i = Sel.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
        Sel.moveToBeginning( GroupFromSel )
        }
}

Have fun

Hi,

How to group "n" numbers of eps files in a folder?

Working great, but I have changed moveToBeginning to moveToEnd because the order was not correct

Thanks

Strange. Are you sure?

The (last) selected item is moved to the top position.

The (penultimate) selected item is moved to the top position … and so on ...

… the (first) selected item is moved to the top position.

The order should be all right.
