Multiple artboards to multiple layers

Question

Hello everyone, I have this script to convert multiple layers to multiple artboards, and also copy each layer name to artboards.
The problem is how to reserve the this script process?
I mean to converts artboards to layer and copy artboards name to layer. Thanks
 
#target illustrator 
 
main(); 
 
function main() { 
   
          if ( app.documents.length == 0 ) { return; } 
 
          var doc = app.activeDocument; 
   
          doc.layers[0].hasSelectedArtwork = true; 
   
          doc.fitArtboardToSelectedArt( 0 ); 
   
          doc.selection = null; 
 
          for ( var  i = 1; i < doc.layers.length; i++ ) { 
   
                    doc.artboards.add( [0,0,72,-72] ); 
   
                    doc.layers[i].hasSelectedArtwork = true;  
   
                    doc.fitArtboardToSelectedArt( i ); 
   
                    doc.selection = null; 
 
          }; 
 
};
 
if (app.documents.length == 0) {
    alert("No Open / Active Document Found");
} else {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    if (doc.artboards.length == doc.layers.length && doc.layers.length == doc.artboards.length) {
        for (var i = 0, l = doc.artboards.length; i < l; i++) {
            var ab = doc.artboards[i]; 
            ab.name = doc.layers[i].name; 
        }
        alert("Finished:
Renaming of Artboards to match Layer names is complete");
    } else {
        alert("Opps: This wont work!
 The number of Layers and Artboards do not match");
    }
}

here the file:icon-color.ai - Google Drive Here you go. function layersFromArtboards(){    var docRef = app.activeDocument;    var layers = docRef.layers;    var aB = docRef.artboards;     //we will remove this layer after the others have been created.    var tempLay = layers[0];    tempLay.name = "Temp";     //loop the artboards    for(var x=0;x<aB.length;x++)    {        var thisAb = aB[x];        aB.setActiveArtboardIndex(x);        docRef.selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard();        var sel = docRef.selection;         //create a new layer        var newLay = layers.add();        newLay.name = thisAb.name;         //loop through the selection and move all artwork onto new layer        //this is only necessary if the artwork on a given artboard is not        //grouped. This ensures that all the art will be moved, even if there are        //multiple ungrouped objects.        for(var a=0;a<sel.length;a++)        {            sel[a].moveToEnd(newLay);        }    }     tempLay.remove();}layersFromArtboards();

Not sure exactly why yours didn't work, but that code was a little messy. it had multiple tests to determine whether a doc exists, and there are two loops where you could get away with one. Here's a snippet that i briefly tested and is working how you want, unless i misunderstand what you're asking for. function container(){  if(app.documents.length > 0)  {    var doc = app.activeDocument;    var layers = doc.layers    var artboards = doc.artboards;     for(var i=0;i<doc.layers.length;i++)    {      if(i>0)      {        var newAb = artboards.add([0,0,5,-5]);       }      var thisLayer = doc.layers[i];      thisLayer.hasSelectedArtwork = true;      doc.fitArtboardToSelectedArt(i);      artboards[i].name = layers.name;      doc.selection = null;    }    alert("Finished:
Renaming of Artboards to match Layer names is complete");  }  else  {    alert("No Open / Active Document Found");  }}container();
