Hello Everyone!

 

I need your help with a JavaSrcript that can resize a selected object (frame/image/lineart etc) in a calculated way i.e.
a) Width of the selected object should become equal to the width of the Document/Artboard.
b) Height should become [sqrt(documentWidth * documentHeight) * 0.08]

 

Thanks in advance.

Correct answer femkeblanco
app.selection[0].width = app.activeDocument.width;
app.selection[0].height = Math.sqrt(app.activeDocument.width * app.activeDocument.height) * 0.08;

    Thanks, a lot, very quick, much appreciated.

    The code is working fine on empty frames, but not on the ones with clipping masks. Can you please check this.

    …and

    How can I change only one side (height/width) and make the other side reduce/enlarge proportionally. If I'm applying the script on a frame with an image.
