Hi,

1)use screenMode to change views

#target illustrator
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
app.documents[0].views[0].screenMode = ScreenMode.DESKTOP; // different mode are DESKTOP, MULTIWINDOW or FULLSCREEN.
}

2) If you know your purcent which you need you can try this:

if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
app.documents[0].views[0].zoom = 1; // 1 is 100%
}

unfortunately, i don't know how to catch the size of window screen

Hi,

1) ScreenMode

DocumentWindowSize = DESKTOPSize / original MULTIWINDOWSize / FULLSCREENSize

it's "only window layout". do not modify document.view property.

2) Zoom

It is a good solution, but how to calculate and setup: center of view and number of zoom for fit?

- - -

Illustrator Menu -> View -> New view -> add name for actual view. (eg. "myView")

zoom +/- and/or move page in window

Save mydoc

Close mydoc

Open mydoc

Illustrator Menu -> View -> myView

It is working. How to use it in JS?

Hi,

I think that you can use muppet mark's script after that you have updated myZoom to the right zoom you want and save your doc with "docRef.save()", it should better if you use MULTIWINDOWS mode to calculate zoom

- when i open a doc , and push [mac]+[0] and save,it seems that this doc is saved with window coordinates and zoom.

indeed i'm not sure to understand want you need exactly, and if you need really a script.

This snippet should give you the basic idea. You can read & write to a view. Here I have used fill screen and calculated a zoom which represents 100% on my monitor (well as close as I need it) it should then center based on the artboard bounds. (this was done in CS2 only 1 artboard).

#target illustrator

var myMonitor = $.screens;

$.writeln(myMonitor);

docRef = app.activeDocument;

with (docRef) {

// Calculate my 100% veiw based on 1152x870!!!

var myZoom = 1600/1152

views[0].screenMode = ScreenMode.FULLSCREEN;

views[0].zoom = myZoom;

views[0].centerPoint = [width/2,height/2];

}

I also included where to get the montior size/res using script just in case you want to use this too.
