Hello,

 

I am wondering if there is any way you can do a script so i enter sizes for each box length and height and it creates something like below?

Hi @bradleyd22790857,

can you upload an example (AI-) file on a hoster of your choice and link to here?

 

I don't know if you want lines or rectangles or or or … But this is very important.

        Hi Mario, no I don't have one, but I've seen a couple on the web. These scripts are custom made for a particular package.

         

        here's one

          google for adam de haven and he has a script, there a lots about, but as Mario says its much easier using other programs. - also i wouldnt waste your time with Hot Door Cad plug in, its pricey and uselss in my experience.

            A script may not be exactly what you need.

            As I can see, you are trying to do die lines for packaging designs, well even if illustrator doesn't have specialized tools for this task, you can do it easily with its main tools ( you must know that exist specialized software for this like Cad programs and even external plugins but they are expensive).

            So here you have a video that you can use to learn something that can help you
