How to fast simultaneous changes the width of multiple objects into same value.

Thanks!

There is the InDesign file  down

Here's your answer to 1. Select the frames left to right, then:

frames = app.selection;

left = frames[0].geometricBounds[1];
right = frames[frames.length-1].geometricBounds[3];
w = (right-left-((frames.length-1)*5))/frames.length

for (i = 0; i < frames.length; i++) {
  gb = frames.geometricBounds;
  frames.geometricBounds = [gb[0],left,gb[2],left+w];
}

for (i = 1; i < frames.length; i++) {
  frames.move(undefined, [i*(w+5), 0]);
}

Thank you

Just, cannot enter the value manually

Do you mean, that you cannot do the selection manually?

One by one, step by step?

Is anything selected at all?

If no, you first have to identify the rectangles.

How to do that? It will depend on your specifc layout.

If yes, the selection was done by the "selection marquee" drawing out a rectangular area by the mouse; everything that is touched by that area is selected.

Now it is unclear which of the index numbers of the selected objects means what rectangle.

You have to identify the rectangles by their position on the page (or spread) (best bet in this situation, I think).
