Script to place the File Name within the Art

[BryanPagenkopf]

Years ago I had been working on a Script for Illustrator project to place the File's Name (minus the extension) within the artboard.  I passed the project off and now no longer have the same computer so that solution was lost.  Is that something that someone can help me with?

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Hi,

not exactly what you want - but a good base:

Script to rename artboard to filename 

Please describe a bit more in detail - how many artboards, which position for the textframe and so on …

Hi,

Could you try this one. This is a really. basic just to get an idea that you are looking for the same. Following script assume there is one file on your desktop with name "Test".

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var file = File('~/Desktop/Test.png')
var fileName = file.name.split('.')[0];
var textFrame = doc.textFrames.add();
textFrame.contents = fileName;
app.executeMenuCommand('Fit Artboard to artwork bounds');

It may possible your original script have more handling of size of the text, fonts and anything else.

Oh,

a bit to late.

😉

addArtboardName();

function addArtboardName() {
var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
var aDocName = aDoc.name;
if (aDoc.artboards.length == 1) {
    var aDocName = aDoc.name.replace(/\..{2,5}$/, "");
    var Bds = aDoc.artboards[0].artboardRect;
    var aTF = aDoc.textFrames.pointText([Bds[2],Bds[3]]);
    aTF.contents = aDocName;
    aTF.translate(-aTF.width);
    }
}

Es ist eher wie im Sandkasten zu spielen als in einem Duell.

It's more like playing in a sandbox than a duel.

A bit late too in writing an English version.

But translation feature saves me in understanding.. 🙂
