I'm not sure if theres a script i couldnt find one where you enter your amount to rotate. I'm looking for the script to look something like the attached file. And i'd like to be able to select via check box (IF POSSIBLE) to make it work for Active document or All open documents.

This should rotate the artboard and artwork ±90, 180, 270 or 360° (any other number will cause an error):

var groups = app.activeDocument.groupItems;
var d = app.activeDocument.artboards[0].artboardRect;
rect1 = app.activeDocument.pathItems.rectangle(d[1], d[0], d[2], -d[3]);
app.executeMenuCommand("selectall");
app.executeMenuCommand("group");
groups[0].rotate(-Number(prompt("Enter ±90, 180, 270 or 360.")));
app.executeMenuCommand("deselectall");
rect1.selected = true;
app.executeMenuCommand("setCropMarks");
app.activeDocument.artboards[0].remove();
app.executeMenuCommand("selectall");
app.executeMenuCommand("ungroup");
app.executeMenuCommand("deselectall");
