Hello help !

How to verify all my objects have the same width ?

is there a plug-in or smth that could verify for me my document and make sure that no width, at any point of my objects, are unde 2.3mm ?


(I want to engrave my design and the machine doesn't work under that width, but I have a complicated image w/ text)

 

Thank you very much !

About what kind of objects are we talking?

If it's stroke widths: There is a plugin called Toolshed, which can set a minimum width for all strokes.

rj-graffix.com

There is also a workflow with the magic wand. 

 

If it's about the horizontal width of the bounding box, there is the script Set all the Things by John Wundes.

Thank you Monica !

English is not my first language but I think I am more talking about bouncing box because my objects are not 1 stroke + contour but closed "stems"

I made a screenshot, I would like to make sure that all the red "measurements" are at least 2.3mm

do you think smth exists for that ?

(i don't necessarily want to make all the width the same, I would rather make sure none are under 2.3mm)

 

thank you very much for your help !

Thank you.

 

OK, you can safely forget any automatic method with that handdrawn looking shape. Draw a circle with the diameter  of 2.3 mm and move that circle in that shape.

 

The rectangles: when you select them, are they still Rectangles in the layers panel? If so, you can select them all and just enter the desired width in the transform panel. Make sure to turn off proportional scaling for that.

 

If they aren't rectangles, then: is the bounding box rotated in the same way? If so, then the script might work (I'm not sure what it does with rotated shapes). If the bounding bos is not rotated, then you need to use the circle method as well.

Most shapes are "complicated" like the handdrawn looking object so I guess I'll go for the circle method, I wasn't really hoping much for these, but I will try the script for the rectangles ! you're right I could also make them all the same with the transform panel 🙂

 

thank you for your help, for the circle method and the script, I will try both of these !
