[ Branched ] Illustrator Script to Rename Artboards based on Artboard Size

[matthijsd65499803]

Hello @pixxxelschubser 

Thank you for this script. In combination with the point to MM change you made, I managed to make this in CM.
Perfect!!

But, I have to work with large number of artboards. You mentioned to create a loop for all the artboard.
I really have no idea how to do that. Can you help me with that?

Hi @matthijsd65499803 

there was a loop in the other thread (in this answer Illustrator Script to Rename Artboards based on Artboard Size #2 ). But the code was destroyed two years ago by switching to the new forum software.

Try this corrected version:

var aDoc = app.activeDocument;

for (i=0; i<aDoc.artboards.length; i++) {
    var AB = aDoc.artboards[i];
    var ABR = AB.artboardRect;
    AB.name = ((ABR[2] - ABR[0])*0.3527778).toFixed(1) + " mm  × " + ((ABR[1] - ABR[3])*0.3527778).toFixed (1) + " mm";
}

If that works for you

have fun

😉
