Script to Export Layers as PNG maintaining Artboard dimension

[mayurrajv_007]

Artboard 1

->layer 1

->layer 2

finding a script to export layer 1 and 2 as png with dimension of Artboard 1.

tried this one, it worked but exported layers sizes are diffrent..

var options = new ExportOptionsPNG24();
var doc = app.activeDocument;
$.writeln("trying to save");

var newdoc = app.documents.add(doc.documentColorSpace, doc.width, doc.height);
newdoc.artboards[0].artboardRect = doc.artboards[0].artboardRect;

saveSubLayers(doc, "");

newdoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

function saveSubLayers(node, path){
    for (var i=0; i<node.layers.length; i++){
        var layer = node.layers[i];
        if (!layer.visible) 
                continue;
        if (layer.layers.length > 0){
             saveSubLayers(layer, path+"/"+layer.name);
        } else {
            saveLayer(layer, path);
        }        
    }
}

function saveLayer(layer, path){
    newdoc.layers[0].remove();
    var newlayer = newdoc.layers[0];
	for (var ii = layer.pageItems.length - 1; ii >= 0; ii--)
		layer.pageItems[ii].duplicate(newlayer, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);

	new Folder(doc.path + path).create();
	newdoc.exportFile(new File(doc.path + path + "/" + layer.name + ".png"), ExportType.PNG24, options);
}

I don’t know sweet FA about scripting, but I did spring for Smart Layer Export. It's very customizable and versatile.

There’s also a free version. Less versatile and customizable, but perhaps better suited to your situation.

this one worked like a charm,

but i've figured out missing parameters from existing script and that also worked fine,

var options = new ExportOptionsPNG24();
options.artBoardClipping = true; //this line

var doc = app.activeDocument;
$.writeln("trying to save");

var newdoc = app.documents.add(doc.documentColorSpace, doc.width, doc.height);
newdoc.artboards[0].artboardRect = doc.artboards[0].artboardRect;


saveSubLayers(doc, "");

newdoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

function saveSubLayers(node, path){
    for (var i=0; i<node.layers.length; i++){
        var layer = node.layers[i];
        if (!layer.visible) 
                continue;
        if (layer.layers.length > 0){
             saveSubLayers(layer, path+"/"+layer.name);
        } else {
            saveLayer(layer, path);
        }        
    }
}


function saveLayer(layer, path){
    newdoc.layers[0].remove();
    var newlayer = newdoc.layers[0];
	for (var ii = layer.pageItems.length - 1; ii >= 0; ii--)
		layer.pageItems[ii].duplicate(newlayer, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);

	new Folder(doc.path + path).create();
	newdoc.exportFile(new File(doc.path + path + "/" + layer.name + ".png"), ExportType.PNG24, options);
}

 but again github one has more control over exported content so yeah, gotta use that.. thanks for helping me out..
